    This document discusses the Contact Perfect matrix band system for dental restorations. It provides advantages over traditional sectional matrix bands, including creating perfect contacts each time, using a universal band that can restore multiple tooth surfaces with one band. The technique involves placing the band, building up resin axially and filling without curing, removing the window, tapping to create the contact point, then curing. The system aims to simplify achieving accurate contacts compared to traditional bands.
