WEDGES
MATRICES USED IN THE DENTISTRY
CONCLUSION
Slide3Contacts(proximal)
The proximal contact area refers to the proximal surface of one tooth that touches the proximal surface of other tooth
Improper proximal contact can lead to food impaction leading to gingival problems, caries and halitosis
Slide4embrasures
Slide5embrasures
These are V- shaped spaces that are present at the proximal contact area between the adjacent teethIncorrect embrasures will lead to decreased masticatory efficiency as well as injury to supporting tissues.
Slide6Separation of teeth:-
Sometimes required in order to establish convenience for operating.
It also results in enhanced operative treatment and improvement in the health of teeth and supporting tissues.
It is done to facilitate creation of physiologically functional contact ,contour and occluding anatomy in the restored tooth.
Slide7Indications for separation of teeth
To create space for the matrix
Preparation of the cavity
Gaining an impression(particularly in anterior teeth)
Facilitate finishing of restoration
Diagnostic analysis
For the removal of any foreign body that gets stuck in between teeth
Slide8SEPARATION
OF TEETH
RAPID/IMMEDIATE SLOW/DELAYED
RAPID/IMMEDIATE TEETH SEPARATION
Rapid movement of teeth to achieve the required separation by placing certain devices in between two adjacent teeth
a.WEDGE
METHOD
b.TRACTION
METHOD
Slide10a.Wedge
separation:
Involves insertion of a pointed wedge shaped device b/w the teeth.
a.ELLIOT
SEPARATOR
:
-
for short duration separation
USES
: examining proximal surfaces or in final polishing of restored contacts
.
Slide11B.WOOD/PLASTIC WEDGES:
Used in conjunction with matrices.
Triangular / round in shape
Base of triangle rests on gingival
interdental papilla.
FERRIER DOUBLE BOW SEPARATOR:
Instrument engages the proximal surfaces of two teeth and then moves them apart
Slide13wedges
Wedges are used to bring about separation of teeth and stabilization of the matrix
band.
“overhang” can be minimized or avoided by
use of wedges
Slide14Objectives/functions
It prevents excess of amalgam from being forced into the gingival creviceIt assists in contouring the cervical part of proximal surface
It separates the teeth and stabilizes the matrix
Slide15wedges

ADVANTAGE OF WOODEN WEDGE
: easily cut, absorb water
.
ADVANTAGE OF PLASTIC WEDGE
:
can be
moulded
and bent
.

WEDGE WEDGING
DOUBLE
WEDGING
Slide18Types of wedging
Single wedging- if a single wedge is used
Wedge wedging-
O
ccasionally a concavity may be present on the proximal surface gingival to contact as in case of maxillary first premolar , a second wedge is placed over first in
occluso
-gingival direction, for proper adaptation of matrix band
Slide19Piggyback wedging-
second smaller wedge placed on the top of first wedge
Parallel to the first one
Double wedge-
if the proximal box is wide
faiolingually
One wedge from the
buccal
and another from the palatal side
Slide20Matrices used in dentistry:
Matricing
is the procedure whereby a temporary wall is created opposite to axial wall, surrounding areas of tooth structure that were lost during preparation.
Slide21Parts:
2 parts:
1.BAND
2.RETAINER
Requirements:
Possess exact 3-D contour
Capable of imparting this configuration to restoration.
Immobile
Not react/adhere to restoration.
Easy to apply & remove.
Extend below gingival margin &above marginal ridge height
Slide23Types of matrix band
Slide24Objectives:
Rigidity
Displace the
gingiva
& rubber dam.
Assures dryness & non-contamination.
Provide proper contact & contour for the restoration.
Maintain its shape during hardening.
Confine the restoration within the cavity.
Reduce amount of excess material.

0.0015inch(0.038mm)
2.PRECONTOURED
Slide26Slide27Tofflemire
retainers:
Slide28There are two knobs on the
tofflemire. The long knob changes the diameter of the loop and the short knob
locks the band in place.
Once
the band is in place, and facing the correct direction, turn the short
knob
to lock it into place.
Slide29BANDS
Slide30Burnishing matrix band
a.Band

use small
burnisher
to deform
b.Large

Slide31Positioning band in universal retainer
Slide32Slide33IVORY MATRIX NO. I
Indicated for unilateral class II cavity
Slide34c.Ivory

Indicated for bilateral
class II cavity/
mesio
occlusal distal restorations.
Slide35COMPOUND SUPPORTED
MATRIX
(anatomical matrix)
Described by
sweeney
Compound acts as retainer
ADVANTAGE
- More rigid
-Better contact &contour
-Easy to remove
-Requires very little proximal carving
Slide36COMPOUND SUPPORTED MATRIX
Slide37Automatrix
system(roll–in band matrix )
Retainerless
matrix system
4 types of bands that fits all teeth
BANDS
– height -3/16 to 5/16 inch
thickness - .oo15”(.038mm)
.oo2”(.05mm)
Band is self retained by auto lock loop either on facial/lingual surface
INDICATED
–Extensive
classII
especially those replacing 1 or 2 cusps
Slide38automatrix
Slide39S- shaped matrix
Indication-
facial/lingual extension class II ,
class III on distal aspect of
cuspid
,class IV , proximal extension of class V
A strip of
Cu,Sn
or Al (1/8’’length) made S-shaped
with mirror handle is used.
Slide40T-shaped matrix
Indication
– class II
Premade brass/steel T- shaped strips are used
Slide41Window matrix
INDICATED in some wide class V cavities
Either preformed windowed bands are used or a
tofflemire
/copper band is festooned & then window is cut coinciding with the cavity but smaller in size.

–direct tooth colored rest.
classIII,IV
For silicate cement – celluloid strips
For composite – cellophane strips
Mylar strips
– for silicate & composite
T-shaped band strip matrix
is used for 2 adjacent
small class III cavity.
For
classIV
plastic strip is
folded in L – shape.
Slide43Slide44Slide45Slide46Sectional matrices(
palodent
matrix)
Slide47CLEAR MATRIX WITH LIGHT REFLECTING WEDGE
Slide48Clear matrices FOR CLASSIII COMPOSITE
The matrix is placed before the etching and priming of a
tooth,This
protects adjacent teeth.
After composite
resto
., a matrix is pulled tightly around the tooth.
It allows the curing light to penetrate
Transparent crown form matrix
.For bilateral
classIV
– use entire crown
For unilateral class IV – cut the crown I-G into
2 halves & use only the side corresponding to the location of the preparation
.
Slide50Anatomic matrix
INDICATION:
class IV , V
Used for light & non light cured direct tooth
coloured
restoration
Slide51omnimatrix
Slide52FORCEP
Slide53conclusion
No matrix technique is capable of the exact replication of normal anatomic contours of the restored teeth.
Wedging is universally imperative in order to eliminate cervical flash of restorative material.
The choice of matrix system may vary from individual to individual & from one tooth to other.
If proper contouring & wedging are utilized, deviations from normal are slight.
