The "Belvedere" composite contact former, from American Eagle Instruments, Inc., is now available in a smaller size tip. A matrix shaping internal pressure, which spreads the prepared tooth from the contacting tooth prior to composite resin curing, results in positive contact point pressure in the finished restoration. The "Belvedere" offers solutions such as: controlling polymerization shrinkage on the proximal margins; creating true tight contact points; and improved interproximal shaping.
