A method for moulding a filling of a relatively small dental caries (2) - the filling being made of a non-metallic setting compound material - in which a predetermined amount (3) of said material sets on the tooth surface (1a) in which the caries (2) is formed, so as to form an individual matrix (6) the shape of which corresponds to the surface (1a). Once removed the individual matrix (6), the dental excavation and, afterwards, the filling of the cavity are carried out. When a surface layer (7c) of the filling is still in a mouldable condition, the individual matrix (6) is placed back on the tooth (1), making it abut on the surface (1a) thereof. The surface layer (7c) of the filling sets in contact with said matrix (6), so that the layer (7c) is moulded by the matrix (6). The matrix (6) is then removed and the filling trimmed. |
