Palodent 360 circumferential matrix system is a revolutionary new circumferential matrix system. The innovative design means a twist of your fingers is all it takes to achieve tight contacts with anatomically natural contours without an awkward retainer or applicator.
The integrated tightener/retainer allows matrix placement and retention without the need for bulky retainers or accessory placement and tightener instruments, allowing for efficiency (no set up required), ease of placement, better access, clear view of the operating field and greater patient comfort.
For better restorations, faster and easier than you ever thought possible. Success comes full circle.
Tips & Tricks
Natural contours and optimal contacts with a simple twist of the fingers.
1. Place
2. Twist
3. Done
”97% of clinicians say that achieving proper
isolation of a Class II cavity is diffcult in at least 1 out of 10 cases.”
”
70% of clinicians find contact creation to be the most challenging part of a Class II restoration.”
Placement Versatility
Palodent 360 Matrix bands are designed to be placed in a multitude of positions to accommodate field of view, loss of tooth structure, and accessibility for instruments.
Use the Palodent 360 system for:
Palodent 360 circumferential matrix bands can be for all Class II restorations, but especially useful for difficult Class II Cases when there is no adjacent tooth, too much tooth structure is missing to use a sectional matrix, or if there is a mis-aligned or severely rotated tooth.
Missing cusp
Missing adjacent tooth
Misaligned tooth
Tooth isolation for core build-up
TIP - To seat in tight interproximal spaces, pre-wedge using a Palodent Plus retaining ring or a wooden wedge to temporarily create the required space.
Throw away your Tofflemire™
The Tofflemire™ was introduced in 1946 to aid in placement of dental amalgam. Today, it’s obsolete technology that can lead to clinical failure when used with modern composite resins.³ Dentsply Sirona has continuously improved matrix technology to deliver the most advanced sectional and circumferential systems available: Palodent matrix systems for simpler, better restorations.
