Abstract
The clinical potential of the tunnel restoration is restrained by perceived difficulties of access to proximal caries and lack of long-term clinical data. This paper describes a technique that affords proximal access similar to that of a standard Class II cavity preparation and provides an evaluation of a technique, using capsulated glass ionomer cements. It is supported by more than nine years of clinical experience that confirms the viability of this procedure as an alternative to conventional Class II cavity restorations for initial proximal lesions.Keywords
