When the floor of the proximal box is secure, you can have complete confidence in your restorations. For more infromation on how to manage restorative performance at this critical interface, read the Protecting the Most Vulnerable Class II Interface Whitepaper.
Do you know how much restoration replacements are costing you?
It really adds up! Each failed restoration could be costing you $292 in chair time and materials.2
Potential Annual Savings
Use the chart below to estimate how much you could be saving per year by estimating your annual number of restorations and the percent of those that usually require replacements. For example, if you perform 600 Class II restorations a year and don't have to replace the usual 10%, you could be saving $17,549 each year.
