Preparation:

• Select an appropriate wedge size based on the restoration needs.
• Ensure the work area is clean and organized.

Placement:

• Insert the plastic wedge gently into the gingival margin of the prepared cavity.
• Position the wedge to create optimal separation between adjacent teeth.

Adjusting:

• Use light pressure to ensure the wedge is snugly fit without causing discomfort.
• Adjust the wedge as needed to achieve the desired spacing for the restoration.

Restoration Process:

• Proceed with the restorative procedure, ensuring that the wedge remains in place to prevent material overflow.

Removal:

• Once the restoration is complete and set, carefully remove the wedge by gently pulling it out.
• Check the restoration for any adjustments or finishing needed.

Disposal:

• Dispose of used wedges according to appropriate waste disposal guidelines.
