- Contains 400 anatomically carved wood wedges in various sizes, making it a versatile option for dental restorative procedures
Uses
- Contouring restorations:
- Wedges are placed interproximally to secure the matrix band and create the proper anatomical contour of the final restoration
- Preventing overhangs:
- By pressing the matrix band tightly against the tooth's gingival margin, the wedge prevents restorative material from flowing out, thus avoiding excess material or overhangs
- Achieving proper contact points:
- The wedge provides slight separation between the teeth to compensate for the thickness of the matrix band. After the wedge is removed, the teeth move back to their original position, ensuring a tight and proper contact point
- Class II restorations:
- The assortment provides a selection of sizes suitable for Class II restorations involving the interproximal surfaces of posterior teeth
Features
- Anatomically carved:
- The wedges are anatomically shaped to adapt correctly to the tooth's anatomy and the curvature of the matrix band
- High-quality sycamore wood:
- The wedges are made from sycamore wood, which is strong, slightly compressible, and will not splinter, even in thin sections
- Rounded tip:
- The tip is rounded for safe and easy insertion past the gingiva
- Square end:
- The square end provides a surface for easy grip and removal with forceps
- Size UT:
- This size is half the width of regular wedges but is taller through the embrasure, making it ideal for tight spaces
- Orange color-coding:
- The orange color makes it easy to identify and select the correct wedge size
