Establishment of an ideal contact and contour between adjacent and opposing teeth are of paramount clinical importance. It ensures the correct deflection of food and debris from the interproximal spaces called embrasures. This prevents food impaction, restoration overhanging, interproximal caries, and subsequent periodontal disease. Establishing an ideal contact is and has always been a challenging task for the clinician. However, a close-to-ideal contact can be recreated using matricing and matrix systems. This review article presents the various types of anterior and posterior matrix systems available, its classifications, indications, contraindications, advantages and disadvantages. It also indicates and explains the type of matrix to be used according to different clinical situations based on the category of caries.
