- These bands are used in restorative dentistry, particularly for Class II composite restorations
Uses
- Composite restorations:
- The bands are used to form a wall around a tooth being restored with composite material
- They create a temporary barrier that helps shape the restoration
- Large preparations:
- The pre-contoured design makes them especially useful for large Class II restorations, allowing for a more anatomically accurate result
- Incremental curing:
- They are ideal for use with the incremental curing technique, where composite is placed in layers and cured individually
- Achieving proper contours:
- The anatomical shape of the bands helps create better interproximal contacts and smooth contours
Features
- Material:
- The bands are made of high-tensile-strength stainless steel for durability and rigidity
- Pre-contoured:
- The bands are pre-shaped to match the natural anatomy of teeth, which helps in achieving proper contours and contacts
- Finished edges:
