Assessment of matrix and contact in proximal composite restorations

How do you remove the rubber dam between the matrix band and the tooth? I had the same problem today and found the solution in tearing the rubber dam in the interproximal area.

Translated version of the Turkish original

In this case, there was no problem because the rubber dam remained apically. If the rubber dam remains inside, I cut it with the thin tip of the gutta-percha cutter.
