Abstract

Aim and background: Direct restorations require skill and time to be performed properly; thus, it is a daily challenge for the pediatric dentist. Adapting techniques proven in adults can provide quick and easy solutions for children. In this case report, we describe the use of the occlusal stamp technique. Case description: An 8-year-old girl was diagnosed with dental caries in our dental practice. The treatment of her class I cavity was performed using a resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI) and an occlusal stamp. The high viscosity of the RMGI and the ingenuity of the occlusal stamp allow for a lifelike occlusal anatomy. Conclusion: By copying the preoperative shape onto the restorative material, we performed a restorative treatment quickly and effectively. Pediatric dentists can perform biomimetic restorations with natural occlusal morphology using the occlusal stamp technique in a short time. Clinical significance: The occlusal stamp is a simple procedure to restore the occlusal anatomy. This technique reduces the working time. The qualitative and quantitative objectives are easily achieved, thanks to this tool.
