Figure 6

The steps of treatment for food impaction at the right mandible teeth in a typical case. (a) Evaluating the contact area by unwaxed dental floss. (b) Selecting the stainless wire for tension around the contact area. (c) Using 10% HF gel to etch the open contact area. (d) Applying the primer and bond resin to the etched surface. (e) Injecting the flowable composite resin or composite resin cement around the contact area and light curing. (f) Occlusal adjustment, polish, and finish of the restoration.
