Figure 7. A ContacEZ Diamond Dental Strip was inserted into the mesial interproximal space of tooth #18 with the abrasive surface towards the inlay, The inlay was placed back onto the preparation.
Figure 8. The ContacEZ Diamond Dental Strip was passed through buccolinually 23 times while the inlay body was gently pressed, until light resistance was achieved. At first, the strip moved in one direction only due to excessively heavy proximal contact. Therefore, the ContacEZ Diamond Dental Strip was passed approximately the first 10 times in one direction only by making a circular motion and was gradually able to pass in both directions buccolingualy.
Figure 9. A matrix band was installed with a wedge and the inlay body was cemented with light cure resin cement.
Figure 10. After light curing on the occlusal surface, the matrix band was removed, and the interproximal space was light cured.
Figure 11. The excess cement was removed and the occlusion was adjusted.
Figure 12. Using a finishing point, the margins of the restoration were smoothed to conform evenly to the enamel surface of the tooth.
