this study aims to evaluate and compare the clinical and radiographical efficacy, operator ease, satisfaction and patient comfort in restoring class II cavities in primary molars using Fender Mate system with T-band system.
Restorations of posterior primary teeth can have a number of issues, including incorrect contact points and proximal overhangs. With the recognition of significance of restoring tooth's right contour and contact, and repair of all tooth surfaces, including proximal walls, different matrix systems were introduced,so this study aims to evaluate and compare the clinical and radiographical efficacy, operator ease, satisfaction and patient comfort in restoring class II cavities in primary molars using Fender Mate system with T-band system.

Matrix Systems used for Restoration of Class II Cavities in Primary Molars
Matrix Systems used for Restoration of Class II Cavities in Primary Molars
Clinical assessment of Proximal Contact Points
clinically assessment of the Proximal Contact Points using waxed dental floss in restoring class II cavities in primary molars using Fender Mate system in comparison with conventional T-band matrix.
Time frame: Baseline
Radiographically Assessment of proximal overhangs
Radiographically Assessment of the proximal overhangs using bite wing radiograph in restoring class II cavities in primary molars using Fender Mate system in comparison with conventional T-band matrix.
Time frame: Baseline
Assessment of operator ease and satisfaction
-Assessment of operator ease and satisfaction using questionnaire in restoring class II cavities in primary molars using Fender Mate system in comparison with conventional T-band matrix, which includes: 1. time needed to install the matrix system (more time means worse outcome) 2. Ease of application and removal of matrix system which may be Easy, Manageable or Difficult (Difficult means worse outcome) 3. Trauma to gingival tissue while applying and removing matrix system which may be Present or Absent (Present means worse outcome) 4. Dislodgment/displacement of restoration while removing matrix system which may be Yes or NO (Yes means worse outcome)
Time frame: Baseline
Assessment of patient comfort
* Assessment of patient comfort using Wong Baker pain rating scale in restoring class II cavities in primary molars using Fender Mate system in comparison with conventional T-band matrix. * Wong Baker pain rating scale with scores from 0-10 (higher scores mean a worse outcome).
Time frame: Baseline
