Clinical Relevance For bonded direct Class II restorations, the use of transparent matrices or metal matrices combined with light conducting instruments, such as light tips, should be favored because marginal leakage is significantly lower when compared to using metal matrices alone.

Clinical Relevance When placing a Class II resin composite restoration, the use of sectional matrix systems and separation rings to obtain tight proximal contacts is recommended.

Clinical Relevance Fiber inserts incorporated at the gingival floor of Class II composite restorations resulted in a significant reduction of microleakage scores as compared to restorations made without inserts. This may lead to a reduced incidence of recurrent caries.

Clinical Relevance Even though marginal gap size was not shown to be a direct predictor for the extent of microleakage in resin composite restorations, both material and placement technique appear to be important determinants in microleakage and, thus, probably in clinical outcomes.

Clinical Relevance The types of matrices assessed, metal or transparent, circumferential or sectional, straight or pre-contoured, were not able to adequately reconstruct all the characteristics of the proximal contact area of an intact tooth in Class II resin composite restorations.

Clinical Relevance Selection of photo-curing protocol (high intensity vs soft-start) and matrix type (transparent vs metal) did not influence the margin quality and marginal seal of Class II resin-based composite restorations.

Clinical Relevance The presence of enamel at the cervical margin of a class II preparation increases the fracture strength of the composite restoration at the marginal ridge, but fractures are more complicated when they occur.

Clinical Relevance The use of a flowable resin composite or compomer may reduce microleakage at the gingival floor of a deep Class II composite restoration that extends apical to the cemento-enamel junction.

Clinical Relevance Beveling box-only Class II cavities is necessary to improve the marginal quality of restorations. Where beveling is impossible or difficult to achieve, ultrasound may improve marginal quality.
