Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Inclusion Criteria Participants will be eligible if 1.they are aged 18 years or older, 2.have fully erupted and occluding permanent posterior teeth with proximal contact present with compound Class II (MO or DO) 3.supragingival lesions involving one third or less of the intercuspal distance.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Exclusion Criteria Participants will be excluded if they: 1 Have complex Class II lesions, crowding/spacing, or tooth mobility 2 Present with periodontal disease 3 Have deep cavities or pulp involvement 4 Have previously restored adjacent proximal surfaces 5 Lack contact with the adjacent tooth 6.Do not provide informed consent

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1 Proximal contact tightness will be assessed using FDI criteria via the dental floss test and categorised as optimum, tight or open. 2 Radiographic evaluation of overhangs will be conducted using bitewing radiographs and classified as absent, positive or negative. Timepoint: at baseline

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. The study will evaluate differences among the three matrix systems in terms of proximal contour accuracy(FDI .criteria), radiographic overhang formation,operator handling/ease of placement & patient comfort with floss passage & food impaction.Timepoint: Immediately post-restoration (single visit).
