Matrix systems were applied according to the manufacturer\u2019s instructions, and composite restoration was done. The clinical evaluation of proximal contact and contour was done by a blinded observer immediately after placement of composite restoration using FDI criteria by passing dental floss or 25-\u00b5m metal blade, whereas marginal gaps and overhangs were checked using a radiograph.
