Title: Module 5 Discussion
Course: DEH 2530 Expanded Duties > Section: Module 5 - Matrices

The standard for courses like this one in expanded functions is to focus on the Tofflemire retainer, matrix band and wedge, a technique that has the greatest longevity of use in the profession in the placement of class II amalgam restorations. Unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer amalgam restorations being placed and the Tofflemire system, which was not ideal even for amalgam restorations, is poorly suited for anterior class III and IV restorations and posterior class II composite resin restorations. Select one of the alternate systems on the market and discuss how it is used. Also, present its indications and advantages over traditional techniques and competitors.
