title: Use of a matrix to form directly applied resin composite to restore worn anterior teeth.
abstract: The technique of using directly applied resin composite is increasingly being chosen to restore worn anterior teeth. This paper describes the use of a vacuum-formed matrix ('suck-down') to shape the directly applied resin composite, avoiding demanding freehand build-ups.
