The Sure Matrix™ with its anatomical shape and unique long tab enables a simple yet effective procedure. The real benefits are realised when you combine Blue Bond (a light cured removable bond) to create reliable tight contacts by attaching the tab of the matrix to the neighbouring tooth. Blue Bond is ideal for naturally positioning the Sure Matrix TM for smooth margins without ledges. The extra security of having the band fixed in place makes the Sure Matrix TM easy to use in practice. A simple and versatile technique that creates tight contacts, natural anatomical shapes and predictable results all without the need for retainer rings. Perfect for: u All class II restorations u Missing cusp restorations u Subgingival cases where it’s difficult to wedge u Cases where retainer rings distort the matrix Separator Wedge – better by design This wedge is designed to separate. Although it has parallel sides, its rigidity increases as you push it in further. Its ski-jump tip is kind to the gingival papillae on the other side and it’s easy to hold and push in. The Separator Wedge provides good compression to the gingival tissues and prevents seepage while holding the matrix tight against the tooth. After much demand the Cementing Wedges are now available The Cementing Wedge (formally known as the OVC Wedge) gives amazing anatomical shape and allow for great contacts when cementing crowns and large fillings. The asymmetric shape gives superior control during the crown cementing process and are also perfect for deep marginal elevation. When cementing crowns: u Preventing gingival seepage u Displacement of the inter-proximal gingival col u Blocking out the inter-proximal space to prevent lumps of cement forming u Creating a smooth tooth/cement/crown interface Large fillings: u Preventing gingival seepage u Displacement of the inter-proximal gingival col u Goes deep into the inter-proximal space u Provides a curved smooth surface without the need for a matrix band The Sure Matrix system requires no separator ring and gives you ultimate control over the shape of your restorations, including the width of the contact.
