The gingiva had a shallow sulcus, and the attachment was delicate. Therefore, did not want to isolate with retraction cord.
Greater Curve band provided isolation as well as access to the cavity prep.
After placing bonding agent, cavity prep was layered with applications of flowable composite.
Caries extended around mesial, buccal, and distal of tooth # 29 making isolation very difficult.
Further isolation was enhanced with a “Dent-a-pop” to the lingual and a Dri-aid against the buccal mucosa.
After placing a bonding agent a flowable composite was placed in increments to the height of the “Greater Curve” periphery. In areas where access was minimal the top of the band was pulled away with an explorer to allow the tip of the flowable applicator to reach the cervical margins.
Adjusted to accommodate partial denture clasp
Preventing saliva contamination of the restoration can be difficult.
After placing bonding agent the tooth was restored with increments of flowable composite.
