Abstract
Objective
To assess proximal contact tightness and contour of two different sectional matrix systems in class-II direct composite restoration using newly designed assessment criteria.
Materials and methods
In a double-blinded randomized clinical trial, 62 class-II direct composite restorations were performed in 62 patients using Composi-Tight 3DXR (n = 31) and Bioclear Biofit HD matrix systems (n = 31). Proximal contact tightness and contour were assessed using a self-designed criterion. Statistical analysis utilized Chi-Square and Independent sample t-test, with P < 0.001 considered significant.
Results
The mean ± sd score for clinical and radiographical evaluation of proximal contact tightness of the Bioclear Biofit HD group (1.06 ± 0.25) was statistically significant with a p-value (<0.001) compared to the Composi-Tight 3DXR group (2.39 ± 0.72).
Conclusion
The study found that the Bioclear Biofit HD matrix system demonstrated better proximal contact and contour than the Composi-Tight 3DXR Sectional Matrix System in Class-II direct composite restorations.

Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research (JOBCR)is the official journal of the Craniofacial Research Foundation (CRF). The journal aims to provide a common platform for both clinical and translational research and to promote interdisciplinary sciences in craniofacial region. JOBCR publishes content that includes diseases, injuries and defects in the head, neck, face, jaws and the hard and soft tissues of the mouth and jaws and face region; diagnosis and medical management of diseases specific to the orofacial tissues and of oral manifestations of systemic diseases; studies on identifying populations at risk of oral disease or in need of specific care, and comparing regional, environmental, social, and access similarities and differences in dental care between populations; diseases of the mouth and related structures like salivary glands, temporomandibular joints, facial muscles and perioral skin; biomedical engineering, tissue engineering and stem cells. The journal publishes reviews, commentaries, peer-reviewed original research articles, short communication, and case reports.
