title: Custom matrix adaptation with elastic cords.
abstract: Proper placement of the matrix and wedge is critical to the success of proximal amalgam and posterior resin composite restorations. This paper has presented an easy technique for adaptation of the matrix in cases where the gingival cavosurface margin involves a concavity. Special case considerations were also discussed.
