Dental Matrices

Dental Matrix Systems – Essential for Restoring Smiles

Dental matrix systems serve as a temporary support to help maintain the correct shape of the tooth during restoration. They also facilitate the proper adaptation and shaping of restorative materials, such as composites or amalgam, thus preventing the risk of contamination.

There are several types of dental matrices, each suited for various dental restorations. The most commonly used are metal matrices and those made from synthetic or plastic materials. Metal matrices are rigid and provide good stability, making them particularly effective for lateral restorations or molars. Plastic matrices, on the other hand, are more frequently used on front teeth due to their transparency, which allows for more efficient curing of light-curable composites.

Dental Matrix – Indispensable for Dentists

Another important aspect of using dental matrices is the retention system. Matrices can be secured with rings or clamps that ensure correct and stable positioning. For complex restorations, additional components like tensioning systems or stabilizing devices are also used. At the same time, for the effective use of dental matrices, it is important to use cotton rolls to maintain a dry and clean working field.

The use of dental matrices and other restorative materials would not be possible without micro-applicators, those small brushes or high-precision applicators. These ensure control over the amount of material applied and help achieve uniform distribution, thus preventing the formation of air bubbles or uneven applications that could compromise the seal or aesthetics of the restoration.
