message board Using Greater Curve and Anchor Decay in a tricky spot prompts this Townie to access it via a novel approach Toof DK Member Since: 03/19/04 Post: 1 of 12 The patient presented with a mesial lesion under the CEJ. I had often addressed these with a standard box preparation, often burrowing through a large amount of tooth structure in the process. Had the idea to access the lesion with a facial approach. With the microscope, visibility is good. Once caries was removed, a wide (9 mm) Greater Curve band was placed and a diamond was used to create access for the curing light and the tip of the dual-cure composite (anchor). Film of mesial lesion. No occlusal caries. Matrix prepared to accommodate the tip of the anchor and provide some visualization. To facilitate cleanup, I often use a brownie point to smooth the jagged metal. Was rushing, so did not do that here. Filled. Excess cleaned a bit. 32 JUNE 2022 // dentaltown.comhttps://www.dentaltown.com/messageboard/thread.aspx?s=2&f=216&t=364518&g=1 http://www.dentaltown.com
