class 2 treatment

2. Definition of matrices
 Matricing is the procedure whereby a
temporary wall is created opposite to axial
walls, surrounding area of tooth structure that
were lost during preparation

3. Function of the matrices
 A Matrix Must Provide:
 Temporary wall of resistance against condensation
pressures
 Shape and contour for the restoration
 To restore anatomic contour and contact areas

4. Criteria for successful matrix band
 Good adaptation and contour
 Stabilized (wedge and compound)
 1.0 mm gingival to gingival wall
 Interproximal contact
 Will not stick to composite
 Does not crumple during placement

5. Types of matrices
PinkBand is a silicone-coated matrix
band for use when placing composite
restorations. The silicone coating may
provide an additional seal against
moisture contamination within the
confines of the band, and it can also
facilitate removal of the band.
PinkBand is a Tofflemire -style band
and is available in Universal, Pedo and
Subgingival sizes
Price: 84$

7. paraband
tafflemire
Paraband Tofflemire Matrix Bands save time and
improve the quality of restorations with their more
conical formation.
Direct Class II composites are simpler and faster to set
up, often with no wedges or separating springs
required. Restore teeth in a neutral, stable position
with predictable broad and deep contacts. Large
MODs will become routine.
For direct Class III, IV and V composites, the band
provides better isolation of the prep, as well as a
stable matrix for condensing composite. Bonding to
subgingival preparations is simpler due to the
isolation and access provided
Price: 49$

8. Cure through
transparent matrices
Made of transparent polyester,
poludentia pre-cut tofflemire
transparent matrix band.
Allow fot more complete light-curing of
approcimal boxes in MOD composite
restoration.
Can be used with any matrix retainer.
0.0015 thin, 50 per pack in 5.5mm
Price: 18$

9. Convenient Pro-
Matrix Bands
Convenient Pro-Matrix Bands are pre-loaded
to make your restoration procedures faster
and easier. This circumferential band is ideal
for both small and large restorations.
Compact, fixed head ensures stability.
Narrow neck aids visibility and access.
Smooth edges increase patient comfort.
Easy-turning adjustment mechanism ensures a
correct fit.
Sliding band deflector creates a band
angulation to fit all quadrants and form a
tighter fit around tooth.
Single-use design prevents cross-
contamination.
Price : 62$

10. All-in-one U dental
bands
Invented by a dentist, U Dental Matrix Bands are a
new generation of matrices designed to save time
and ensure tight, predictable Class II contacts.
With no need for Tofflemires, forceps or retainers
rings, these are the only matrix bands held from
the buccal and lingual by an integrated spring clip
handle, creating a natural curve.
This all-in-one sectional band is easy to insert and
remove by hand-no more fighting with sectional
components! If needed, a wedge of your choice
may be used for added stability. For adjacent
restorations, place bands back to back and finish
both simultaneously.
Available in three sizes, molar and pre-molar
bands are 1/4 wide. Narrower pre-molar bands
are 3/16 wide and also suitable for deciduous
teeth. Now 0.0015 thin!
Price : 55$

12. Palodent Plus Retainer
Ring Universal Two-
Pack
The Palodent Plus Retainer Ring Universal
Two-Pack with Nickel-Titanium spring
provides outstanding separation force
and memory. Glass fiber-reinforced V-
shaped tines accommodate the wedge
and allow you to wedge from both sides
before or after ring placement. Wide
tines help the system remain stable even
on significantly damaged teeth or when
a cusp is missing. Anatomical geometry
reduces slippage and minimizes flash.
Stackable for efficiency and versatility.
For sale in USA only.
Price: 221.59$

14. Slick Bands XR 3D
Matrices with extension
Modern bonding agents do a fantastic job of
bonding resins to tooth structure.
Unfortunately, they also do a good job of
bonding the matrix band to the restoration.
Non-stick Slick Bands Sectional Matrices are
the first sectional matrix bands to virtually end
the problem of difficult-to-remove matrix
bands. With a micro-thin coating bonded to
dead-soft stainless steel, Slick Bands provide a
92% reduction in band adhesion!
Super smooth coating makes bands easier to
insert on conservative preps.
High-contrast colors allow for better
visualization of prep margins and easier
chairside selection.

15. Slick Bands
tofflemire-style
matrix bands
With a micro-thin, non-stick
coating, Slick Bands Tofflemire
Matrices virtually eliminate the problem
of hard-to-remove matrix bands.
Slick Bands Right-Curve Tofflemire
Matrices work for all restorations. This
style creates a significantly increased
funnel-shaped cone that provides a
lower contact point and improved
isolation.
Price: 71$

16. Composi-Tight 3D
Clear Matrix Band
Refills
The award-winning Composi-Tight 3D
Clear Sectional Matrix System combines
transparent and translucent materials to
allow for cure-through polymerization.
Now you can apply your curing light
from both the buccal and lingual
surfaces without interference from metal
matrices and opaque separator rings.
Enables proper curing of deeper
proximal boxes and is also beneficial
when bulk-filling Class II restorations.
Price: 131$

18. LumiContrast
Matrices bands
Innovative LumiContrast Sectional
Matricesprotect your eyes from unnecessary
strain caused by poor visualization.
Matte blue surface delivers high visual
contrast between matrix and tooth color.
Low reflection level prevents a blinding effect
that often occurs with shiny metal matrices-a
must-have when working with intense light
sources.
High-tech, permanent coloration will not
contaminate materials or cavities.
Pre-contoured to form ideal contacts with less
finishing time.
Price : 66$

20. FenderMate Prime
A unique combination of a preparation
shield and a sectional matrix for Class II
fillings of primary teeth, FenderMate
Primary enables fast, simple and safe
restorations-without the need for a
retention ring!
Bendable, symmetrical construction
works on right or left sides, mesially or
distally. Thin boat-shaped tips allow
them to be inserted buccally or lingually
into tight interproximal spaces and
condense gingiva with less risk of
bleeding. 18 per pack in short (yellow) or
long (green) sizes.
