Class III restorations present unique challenges, especially when masking proximal cavities in anterior teeth. This video explores effective techniques to achieve aesthetically pleasing and durable results.
For small Class III cavities that don’t reach the line of reflection:
1. Avoid beveling to maintain a seamless finish.
2. Use translucent or slightly grayish resins for better blending.
3. Consider resins like HRI by Micerium for exceptional results.
For larger Class III cavities extending beyond the line of reflection:
1. Bevel at a 45-degree angle using a pear-shaped diamond.
2. Round off the bevel edges to minimize visible transitions.
3. Deepen the cervical bevel area to reduce shadowing and enhance integration with natural tooth structure.
These tailored techniques for small and large Class III cavities help you achieve optimal aesthetics and functionality while minimizing invasive procedures. Ideal for dentists striving for excellence in restorative dentistry.
