ABSTRACT:
The subject invention is a device for use in composite resin dental restoration and a method for overcoming the difficulty of establishing sufficient separation to provide firm and properly located interproximal contact. This invention creates an easy, predictable method for establishing proper interproximal contact pressure and anatomical form. The wedge is used in a method which establishes predicatable interproximal static contour relationships with matrix systems, providing the necessary additional interproximal separation and reducing the thickness of the composite resin to be cured by light catalysis to insure more complete curing in the deeper recesses in the cavity preparation.
