Appearance after cavity preparation
Caries lesion was removed and enamel margins were belvelled.
Adjusting superior matrix
The cervical part of the Superior Matrix was trimmed with fine point scissors. Then its placement in the preparation was evaluated. At this stage the orientation of the matrix can be adjusted.
