Tight, healthy contact points every time — matrix, wedge and ring systems in 32 short lessons
Microscope-focused restorative dentist Maciej Czerwiński built Contact Points Ambassador to end weak or missing proximal contacts, packing 32 short lessons into 3 h 25 min across seven modules. It walks through matrix selection, TeflonFloss wedging and separation rings, with a decision system for choosing the right matrix in each clinical situation.

What you’ll be able to do
- Pick the right matrix by height, thickness and curvature
- Follow a Matrix Selection System for thin, medium, deep and wide cases
- Adapt matrices with TeflonFloss wedging without customising wedges
- Use separation rings correctly, even with thick 75 µm matrices
- Avoid the causes of secondary caries and food impaction
- Present contact points well on radiographs and photographs
Inside the course
Why contact points matter
Opening modules explain how an inadequate contact leads to gum inflammation, bone loss and recurrent decay, and set out the three ingredients of a good result: matrix, wedge and ring.
Matrix selection
Dedicated modules break matrices down by height, thickness and curvature, then present a selection system that maps thin, medium, ultra-deep and wide bands to specific clinical situations.
Wedging and separation
The TeflonFloss module covers insertion path, matrix switching and easy removal, while the rings module works through tip shape, ring strength and correct use of the Gold Ring for reliable separation.
Bonus clinical footage
Extra videos add live cases, first-premolar contacts, matrix system updates and tips for keeping the ring stable, drawn from everyday microscope-based practice.
Built for
- General and restorative dentistsA focused fix for weak or missing proximal contacts.
- Microscope dentistsDetailed matrix, wedge and ring technique at magnification.
- Recent graduatesA repeatable system for consistent Class II results.

Before you buy
Does it teach a specific product range?
Yes. Several lessons demonstrate named systems such as TeflonFloss wedges, the Gold Ring and TOR matrices, though the principles transfer to other kits.
Are the lessons quick to watch?
Very. Thirty-two lessons total about 3 h 25 min, with many running only a few minutes each.
Do I get CME credit or a certificate?
No. Clinicapedia provides the educational content only — no CME or CE credits, MOC points or certificates of completion are included with this product.
