tooth 37. Both teeth had been restored<br />
with GIC. The mesial aspect of tooth<br />
47 had been restored with a temporary<br />
material. Tooth 49 showed signs of decay<br />
in the mesial area (Figs. 8-9). No other<br />
clinical symptoms were noted and all<br />
the teeth were vital. This case required<br />
Class II restorations to be placed on teeth<br />
36, 37, 46 and 47 and were therefore an<br />
indication for Cention N. After retentive<br />
cavity preparation and relative isolation<br />
with an OptraGate and cotton rolls, the<br />
fillings were placed in two stages. At<br />
the first stage, teeth 36 and 37 were<br />
restored, followed by teeth 46 and 47<br />
on the following day. Once the material<br />
was set, the restorations were finished.<br />
The fillings blended in well with the<br />
surrounding tooth structure, as can be<br />
seen on the images taken immediately<br />
after the restorative procedure<br />
(Figs. 10-11). The restorations were<br />
comfortable to wear for the patient. She<br />
was free of postoperative sensitivities. The<br />
six-month recall revealed sound results<br />
(Figs. 12-13). Images 14 and 15 were<br />
taken on occasion of the twelve-month<br />
recall. The twelve-month radiographs<br />
(Figs. 16-17) also showed satisfactory<br />
results.<br />

Case report 2<br />
A 30-year-old patient presented with<br />
fractured fillings in the left lower posterior<br />
area and a temporary filling on the right<br />
lower molar. A clinical examination<br />
revealed fractured restorations on teeth<br />
36 and 37, with a disto-occlusal cavity on<br />
tooth 36 and a mesio-occlusal cavity on<br />
