Versatile systems consistently create tight anatomically accurate contacts—taking the stress out of challenging Class II restorations
No dentist wants to redo a restoration. But open or improperly shaped contacts can lead to a host of issues—including fractures, food traps, and recurrent caries. Here, Dr. Chris Campbell shares why he relies on Dentsply Sirona’s Palodent Matrix Systems to achieve tight contacts in virtually every clinical scenario.
Contoured Design for an Effective Seal
Both systems use matrix bands that are anatomically contoured right out of the box. The shape of the matrix band, as well as the wedge system with its 3 different sizes, allows me to get tight marginal adaptation at the box for an effective seal as well as an anatomically shaped interproximal contact.
The Palodent systems are not bulky in the mouth, and I never worry about pinching my patient’s cheek when tightening the band, as can happen with a traditional Tofflemire. In my experience, the concave wedge system prevents the papilla from being im-pinged upon—another big factor for patient comfort. Palodent works well in virtually every clinical situation. Very rarely do I need to reach for any other system.
