Abstract

Relevance. To maintain dental health and maintain the normal structure of the dental system, a deep understanding of methods for restoring lost dental tissue is necessary. When restoring class II carious lesions, open and closed sandwich techniques were used, as well as various methods of manipulating composite materials. Systematization of existing research will allow the dentist to better navigate the available techniques and provide better treatment to his patients. Aim: To conduct a systematic review of the effectiveness of the method for restoring proximal contacts of posterior teeth. Materials and methods. As part of the study, a systematic analysis of the technique for restoring contact points of teeth was carried out, in compliance with established criteria. Initial data were obtained by searching the Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, PubMed, ResearchGate, CyberLeninka and eLIBRARY.RU databases using the following key terms: «recovery methods», «contact point», «open sandwich», «closed sandwich», «filling technique», «point of contact», «closed centripetal», «open centripetal». Results. To conduct a systematic review, 7 articles were reviewed on the seal quality of restorations made using the open sandwich, closed sandwich, and total bonding methods. In 85% of cases, the open sandwich method was indicated by the authors as the most appropriate for creating sealed class 2 restorations. Conclusions. The best tightness of restorations in in vitro studies in 85% of cases was achieved using the technique of filling an open sandwich. The tightness of the restoration not only affects the choice of material, but also prevents its application. Further comparative in vivo studies on the survival of class 2 restorations made using the open sandwich or total bonding method are needed.
