Case Study 3

This case involved a direct composite restoration to manage occlusal caries secondary to an existing GIC. Rubber dam isolation provided excellent moisture control and visibility, allowing for precise cavity preparation and layering technique. Upon reviewing the completed restoration in natural light as well as the photographs, a more accurate shade match would’ve been advantageous. The case reinforced the importance of good isolation for predictable bonding and also helped build my confidence in restoring posterior teeth with attention to anatomy and occlusion.
