Atraumatic Restoration of Vertical Food Impaction with an Open Contact Using Flowable Composite Resin Aided by Cerclage Wire under Tension

Figure 4

Applying flowable composite resin or composite resin cement to rebuild the contact area under tension stress with the cerclage wire. (a) Applying the primer and bond resin to the etched surface. ((b), (c)) Injecting the flowable composite resin or composite resin cement around the contact area. (d) Enforcing the tension band with the cerclage wire for about 30 s to squeeze the paste of composite resin into the contact area. (e) Relieving the tensile stress and removing the redundancy immediately with a point probe. (f) Light curing from all aspects.
