Restorative Workflow: Maxillary Anterior Interproximal Restorations (Teeth #11M and #10DF) Today’s case involved restoring mesial interproximal caries on tooth #11 and distofacial recurrent caries under an existing restoration on tooth #10. Both lesions required precision, esthetic sensitivity, and careful isolation due to their anterior location. Step-by-Step Workflow: 1. Shade Selection: Performed before isolation to ensure accurate esthetic matching. 2. Isolation: Achieved with a rubber dam to maintain a clean, dry field and protect soft tissue. 3. Old Restoration Removal (Tooth #10): The defective distofacial composite was carefully removed, revealing carious dentin underneath. 4. Caries Removal (Tooth #11M and #10DF): Gentle excavation with magnification to preserve enamel and ensure complete removal of infected dentin. 5. Etching and Adhesive Protocol: Selective enamel etching with phosphoric acid, followed by application of a universal adhesive system. 6. Matrix and Cont...
