Abstract
The sectional matrix is the best way to achieve a strong contact point in Class II restorations with composite resin in the posterior dental sector. The pre-wedging is essential to get a separation between teeth which avoid the matrix deformation during its insertion. This article describes the clinical technique for restoring Class II cavities using a sectional matrix.Keywords
