Retainers and matrix bands – Dentsply palodent V3 sectional matrix system refills

Poor contact creation can lead to fractures, food impaction, gingival inflammation and recurrent caries.  The Palodent V3 nickel-titanium rings offer a consistent separation force on molars and premolars, securing the anatomically shaped Palodent V3 matrix against the preparation for a predictable and accurate contact, every time.
TIGHT SEAL:

When using resin-based restoratives, isolation is essential for success.  The Palodent V3 ring works with the matrix and wedges to create a tight seal around the restorative field, allowing the clinician to confidently move forward into the procedure.
INCREASED EFFICIENCY:

The Palodent V3 system components work together to seal and shape the restoration, minimizing flash and the required time spent finishing, as well as the chance of having to re-do the restoration due to poor contact.  The system can be configured for multiple restorations at once, and the WedgeGuard provides added efficiency by protecting the adjacent tooth, allowing the clinician to prepare the cavity without worry.
STRESS-FREE CLASS II RESTORATIONS :

Use Palodent V3 in combination with SDR® (Smart Dentin Replacement) to simplify and optimize the class II restorative procedure.SDR has up to 60% less polymerization stress2 which means it can be bulk-filled in 4mm increments.SDR’s flowable consistency results in self-leveling and full cavity adaptation without the need for manipulation with a hand instrument.  Palodent V3 and SDR are the perfect partners for producing fast, optimal, and stress-free class II restorations.

Select the appropriate anatomically shaped matrix band from the refill set based on the tooth being restored.
Slide the matrix band into the retainer ring, ensuring a secure fit.
Place the matrix band around the tooth to be restored, positioning it firmly against the adjacent tooth.
Retaining Ring Placement:

Select the appropriate size of the nickel-titanium retaining ring from the refill set based on the tooth being restored.
With the matrix band in place, carefully position the retaining ring over the matrix band.
Gently compress the retaining ring using the forceps included in the refill set to securely hold the matrix band in place. Ensure that the ring is evenly seated and provides stable support.
Wedge Placement:

Select the appropriate size of the adaptive, self-guiding wedge from the refill set based on the tooth being restored.
Insert the wedge into the interproximal space, guiding it along the contour of the preparation.
Ensure that the wedge provides a tight seal and prevents any unwanted leakage or contamination.
Restoration Procedure:

Proceed with the dental restoration procedure, such as composite filling placement or crown preparation, following standard protocols and techniques.
Take care to maintain stability and isolation throughout the procedure, utilizing the sectional matrix system and its components as necessary.
Removal of Matrix System:

Once the restoration is complete, remove the retaining ring using the forceps provided. Release the ring from the matrix band by unlocking the grip arms and gently lifting it away from the tooth.
Carefully remove the matrix band from the tooth, ensuring no damage or interference with the restoration.
Remove the wedge by gently pulling it out of the interproximal space, taking care not to disturb the restoration.
