Abstract:
AIM To compare two matrices (Automatrix and sectional matrix) based on time efficiency and patient acceptability among pediatric patients while performing chair side class II restorations using matrices. METHODOLOGY Twenty kids between the ages of 5 and 7 who had Class II cavities were chosen. Either the automatrix or the sectional matrix band method was used to restore the cavities. Wong baker face scale was used to assess patients acceptability. Time assessment was conducted for placing the matrix system. RESULTS Time required to place sectional matrices was more (3.470 ± 0.7602 ) than required for automatrix (1.920 ± 0.2394). When the sectional and automatrix were compared, a significant difference was observed for the Wong-Baker's facial pain rating scale (p < 0.05). It was found the highest level of pain scores when used the sectional matrix than automatrix system (p < 0.05). Children in this study accepted automatrix to be more comfortable than the sectional matrices group. CONCLUSION The automatrix group was more time efficient compared to the sectional matrices group. Based on the patient acceptability automatrix has been found superior to sectional matrix band system.
