- These are specific bands used for posterior composite fillings, designed primarily for bicuspids (premolars)
Specifications:
- Purpose:
- The B100 bands are part of the Composi-Tight system, used to create anatomically accurate contact points and contours on Class II composite restorations
- Dimensions:
- Height: 3.8mm, with a total height of 4.6mm including the gingival apron
- Thickness: A thin 0.0015 inches, which helps minimize excess composite material (flash)
- Material: The bands are made of stainless steel
Instructions:
- The B100 matrix band is placed around the bicuspid tooth before the composite material is inserted
- A tensioning ring, such as the G-Rings from the K102 kit, is then applied to separate the teeth slightly and secure the band in place
- This ensures a tight, natural-looking contact point with the adjacent tooth and a proper marginal ridge
