Dentsply PALODENT V3 INTRO KIT Sectional Matrix System contains;

 Wedges (3 sizes)

• Compresses on entry and flares upon exit for easy placement and seal.
• Hollow underside allows placement of the second wedge from the opposite side.

 Forceps

• Locking function and angled grip arms hold the ring securely both mesially and distally.
• Handy built-in grooves for resetting rings.

 Pin Tweezers

• Pin-in tip positively grips the hole in matrices, wedges and Wedge Guards for full control.
• Naturally closed position minimizes the risk of dropping the matrix band, wedge or Wedge Guard.
• Handy ball burnisher built into tip.

 Universal Ring

• Light Blue Colour
• Nickel-titanium for outstanding spring strength, memory and consistent separation force.
• Stackable for versatility.
• Glass-fiber reinforced plastic tines are v-shaped to accommodate the wedge.

 Narrow Ring

• Dark Blue Colour
• Same innovative features and benefits as the Universal Ring.
• Tines set closer together for optimal separation of smaller teeth.
• Up to 4kgs of separating force, even on premolars.

 Matrices (5 sizes)

• Pronounced marginal ridge for ideal anatomy.
• Significantly greater curvature on the horizontal plane as the matrix wraps around the tooth.
• Gingival apron is optimally shaped to significantly prevent gaps in the gingival-axial corner.

 EZ Coat matrices (5 sizes)   

• The Palodent V3 EZ Coat matrices retain all the innovative features and benefits of Palodent V3 matrices but come with the added bonus of a micro-thin, non-stick finish that makes matrix removal even easier.
• Greater matrix curvature that helps improve the anatomical accuracy of the restoration.
• Five color-coded sizes as refills. 

WedgeGuards (3 sizes)

• Facilitates faster and easier cutting of cavities and lowers risk of interproximal damage to adjacent teeth.
• Guard detached after preparation, leaving the wedge in place.

• 100 x Matrices: 25 each size: 3.5 mm, 4.5 mm, 5.5 mm, 6.5 mm
• 75 x Wedges: 25 each size: Small, Medium, Large
• 30 x WedgeGuards: 10 each size: Small, Medium, Large
• 1 x Universal Ring
• 1 x Narrow Ring
• 1 x Forcep
• 1 x Pin Tweezer

• Select the appropriate size and shape of the matrix band based on the tooth being restored and the desired contour.
• Place the matrix band around the tooth, ensuring it fits snugly and adapts to the natural anatomy.
• Use the nickel-titanium retaining ring to secure the matrix band in place. Ensure a stable and firm placement to prevent any movement during the restoration process.
• Insert the adaptive, self-guiding wedges into the interproximal space, guiding the matrix band and creating a tight seal. Ensure the wedges are properly seated for optimal isolation.
• Proceed with the restorative procedure, such as composite resin placement or amalgam filling, following standard protocols and techniques.
• Once the restoration is complete, carefully remove the wedges by gently twisting and sliding them out.
• Loosen the retaining ring by gently pressing and rotating it to release the matrix band.
• Remove the matrix band by sliding it off the tooth in a controlled manner, taking care not to disrupt the restored area.
• Evaluate the restoration for proper contact and contour, making any necessary adjustments as needed.
• Clean and disinfect the Palodent V3 system components according to recommended guidelines before storing or reuse.
