A truly successful restoration is indistinguishable from a natural tooth. However, getting just the right aesthetic can be difficult, especially when a patient has challenging incisal edges.
However, the CoForm matrix system, a set of pre-formed transparent celluloid plastic matrices, can make this process faster and easier, without sacrificing accuracy. CoForm, from Directa Dental, comes in four sizes of ready-cut mesial and distal corners for anteriors, canines, and first premolars, so you can use it for virtually any Class IV restoration.
To use the product, fill in the cavity as you would normally. When you get to the final layer, instead of shaping and curing the composite, press the matrix onto the uncured composite to create the shape of a healthy tooth. Then cure the composite through the clear matrix. Using CoForm, you’ll have the confidence to quickly create just the anatomy you need for your patient.
Each CoForm matrix is designed with your and your patient’s satisfaction in mind. The piece is flexible during use but will give you a tight contact to the patient’s dentition without adhering and causing drag during removal.
CoForm snagged a 4.2 rating and Recommended Product designation in our evaluation. One evaluator said, “[CoForm provided] smooth, polished edges and great contour.” Another evaluator said that CoForm “made it easy to obtain great cosmetic results.”
CoForm comes in a clinical dispenser and the selection system makes it easy to find just the right fit. The product is available in either a 64-piece or 128-piece set, and refills are available in multiples of 10.
