Tofflemire Matrix Bands - 12 Pieces
Manufactured from surgical-grade German stainless steel, our Tofflemire Matrix Bands are a fundamental tool for dentists performing tooth restorations. They come in four pre-contoured shapes (Figures 1, 2, 3, and 13) to accommodate various tooth surfaces and ensure accurate anatomical contours of the restoration.
- Pre-Formed Shapes: Minimize the need for extensive manipulation, saving valuable chair time.
- Thin, Yet Sturdy Construction: Allows for easy adaptation to the curvature of the tooth, creating a tight seal against the adjacent teeth. This precise adaptation helps to prevent excess filling material from seeping into unwanted spaces and compromising the restoration.
Tofflemire Matrix Bands are used in a variety of dental procedures:
- Class II Restorations: Ideal for creating a stable and secure wall during the placement of composite fillings in cavities involving the proximal surfaces (sides) of teeth.
- Amalgam Restorations: Can also be used with amalgam fillings to ensure proper shaping and prevent contact with adjacent teeth.
- Core Build-Ups: In some cases, Tofflemire Matrix Bands can be used to create a defined space for core build-up materials used to restore extensively damaged teeth.
