Reestablishment of interproximal contact with custom ring technique

Abstract

This case report presented a recently technique designed to promote an suitable reestablishment of interproximal contacts. This technique was fi rst described in 2013 and favours the proximal faces rebuilding using materials such as gingival barrier, metallic matrix with the correspondent metallic ring and gliceryn. A female patient sought for aesthetic appearance of her posterior tooth. After clinical evaluation, proximal caries between the teeth 35 and 36 were found and removed. New restorations were performed using a customized ring technique. This technique presents advantages as better stability of the metallic ring and appropriate proximal contour showing satisfactory results.
