• Palodent® Plus Sectional Matrix System

• I have been using this matrix system for years and it is even better than the original kit.
• Rings maintain their tension after repeated use.
• Nice selection of matrix and ring sizes.
• It would be nice to have even longer tines on some rings.
• I would like the rings to fit tighter to provide even greater separation.
• Increase the buccal-lingual length of the matrices.

The Palodent Sectional Matrix System is a sectional matrix system for use during placement of interproximal amalgam r composite restorations or temporary fillings. The kit contains pre-contoured metal matrix forms (three sizes/shapes) and BiTine® rings (two styles) for matrix retention and tooth separation. The shaped matrices are designed to enhance reproduction of natural proximal shape and post-operative contact. The rings are placed interproximally with a rubber dam clamp forcep; the spring-action of the ring creates separation of the teeth, facilitating inter-dental preparation space as well as formation of a positive proximal contact. The Standard, Mini and Plus stainless steel matrices allow use of The Palodent Sectional Matrix System in a broad variety of situations. The two ring shapes permit control over visualization and access in the operating field. Thirty-one consultants used The Palodent Sectional Matrix System in the placement of over 550 restorations.
