Medicom’s Pro-Matrix band is engineered to meet the evolving needs of dentistry. The sophisticated design which includes a tapered neck can simplify procedures through easier placement around the tooth, less obstruction during procedures and improved visibility. The pre-contoured matrix band facilitates the restoration of interproximal anatomical contours and contact areas of the tooth surface. Additionally, the pre-contoured matrix band creates a smooth external surface against which the restorative material may be conveniently packed reducing the risk of cupping.
It is the only matrix band system suitable for both small or large amalgam and composite restorations. Pro-Matrix is especially useful in scenarios where sectional matrices can’t be used:
- Large gaps exist between teeth
- Adjacent tooth is missing
- Large and wide interproximal box • Cusp replacement
- Large MOD cavities
- Amalgam restorations
Pro-Matrix Band is easy to use and will save users valuable time due to the revolutionary, adjustable band which is available in 2 sizes. Each band is single-use and comes pre-assembled, with a sliding band deflector and smooth tightening mechanism.
