Product Description ▼
The Valdent USA Matrix Wooden Wedges 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: Tapered design allows the wedge to conform closely to the anatomy of the tooth and gingival embrasure, providing excellent marginal sealing.
-
Assorted & Color Coded: Each pack contains an assortment of various sizes to accommodate a wide range of interproximal spaces and anatomical variations. The tips are colored for quick and easy size selection:
- White/Natural: Small
- Green: Medium
- Yellow: Large
- (Specific colors may vary based on ISO standard, but assortments provide full range)
- Natural Wood Material: Made from high-quality birchwood, 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 assorted 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.
