Preparation:

• Ensure the tooth is clean and dry.
• Isolate the tooth using a rubber dam or cotton rolls if necessary.

Select the Matrix Band:

• Choose the appropriate size and curvature of the matrix band (No. 1 for standard posterior restorations).

Placement:

• Slide the matrix band around the prepared tooth, positioning it so that it extends above the marginal ridge and fits snugly against the adjacent tooth.
• Ensure the band's contour matches the natural shape of the tooth.

Secure the Band:

• Use a matrix retainer (e.g., Tofflemire or Ivory) to hold the band in place. Adjust the retainer for proper tension and fit.

Fill the Cavity:

• Pack the restorative material (composite or amalgam) into the cavity preparation, ensuring it fills the space against the matrix band.
• Contour the material to match the desired anatomy.

Setting:

• If using light-cured composite, cure according to manufacturer instructions. For amalgam, allow it to set as per standard protocols.

Removal:

Once the material has been set, carefully loosen and remove the matrix retainer.

Gently slide the matrix band off the tooth, ensuring not to disturb the restoration.

• Finishing:
• Check the occlusion and proximal contacts. Adjust and polish the restoration as needed.
