Product Description
The Valdent USA Matrix Wooden Wedges, Green, are essential accessories for restorative dentistry, designed to hold matrix bands securely against the cervical margin of the tooth during Class II procedures. These wedges help to achieve proper tooth separation and prevent overhangs, ensuring tight contacts and anatomically correct restorations.
Key Features & Benefits
- Optimal Adaptation: The tapered design allows the wedge to conform closely to the anatomy of the tooth and gingival embrasure, providing excellent marginal sealing.
- Precise Dimensions: These green-colored wedges are specifically sized at 1.5mm (base width) x 2mm (height) x 14mm (length), offering the appropriate fit for specific preparation sizes.
- Color Coded: The distinct green color allows for quick size identification, streamlining the selection process during procedures.
- Natural Wood Material: Made from high-quality wood, which naturally compresses against the tooth while in the sulcus to provide gentle tooth separation, preventing material overhangs and enhancing adaptation.
- Hygienic & Convenient: Designed for single patient use, ensuring maximum hygiene and eliminating the need for sterilization.
- Bulk Packaging: Supplied in an economical pack of 100 wedges, providing a substantial supply for everyday clinical practice.

Intended Use
These wooden wedges are used in conjunction with a matrix band and matrix retainer system (such as the Tofflemire retainer) for:
- Securing the matrix band at the gingival margin.
- Preventing excess restorative material (amalgam, composite, etc.) from extending beyond the preparation (overhangs).
- Gently separating adjacent teeth to ensure a tight contact point in the final restoration.
- Protecting the gingiva during restorative procedures.
