Comparison of Trial Restoration Matrix Fabrication Methods

"Auto-polymerization bisacrylic material (Luxatemp Star, DMG) was used to perform the trial restoration for condensation silicone matrix, addition PVS-silicone matrix with external resin-based shell and CAD/CAM combination matrix. Light-cured flowable composite-resin (Filtek Flow, 3M Dental Products) was used to perform the trial restoration for transparent addition PVS-silicone matrix. The rationale behind using different material stands on the material selection usually chosen by clinicians for each matrix.~In the same appointment 4 trial restorations were performed to each patient using the four different matrixes."
