Dentsply Palodent V3 Intro Kit Sectional Matrix System

Accurate contacts

• Poor contact creation can lead to fractures, food impaction, gingival inflammation, and recurrent caries. 
• The Palodent V3 nickel-titanium rings offer a consistent separation force on molars and premolars, securing the anatomically shaped Palodent V3 matrix against the preparation for a predictable and accurate contact, every time.

 Tight seal

• When using resin-based restoratives, isolation is essential for success. 
• The Palodent V3 ring works with the matrix and wedges to create a tight seal around the restorative field, allowing the clinician to confidently move forward into the procedure.

 Increased efficiency

• The Palodent V3 system components work together to seal and shape the restoration, minimizing flash and the required time spent finishing, as well as the chance of having to re-do the restoration due to a poor contact. 
• The system can be configured for multiple restorations at once, and the Wedge Guard provides added efficiency by protecting the adjacent tooth, allowing the clinician to prepare the cavity without worry.

 Stress-free class II restorations

• Use Palodent V3 in combination with SDR® (Smart Dentin Replacement) to simplify and optimize the class II restorative procedure. 
• Palodent V3 and SDR are the perfect partners for producing fast, optimal and stress-free class II restorations.

Dentsply PALODENT V3 INTRO KIT Sectional Matrix System contains;

 Wedges (3 sizes)

• Compresses on entry and flares upon exit for easy placement and seal.
• Hollow underside allows placement of the second wedge from the opposite side.

 Forceps

• Locking function and angled grip arms hold the ring securely both mesially and distally.
• Handy built-in grooves for resetting rings.

 Pin Tweezers

• Pin-in tip positively grips the hole in matrices, wedges and Wedge Guards for full control.
• Naturally closed position minimizes the risk of dropping the matrix band, wedge or Wedge Guard.
• Handy ball burnisher built into tip.

 Universal Ring

• Light Blue Colour
• Nickel-titanium for outstanding spring strength, memory and consistent separation force.
• Stackable for versatility.
• Glass-fiber reinforced plastic tines are v-shaped to accommodate the wedge.

 Narrow Ring

• Dark Blue Color
• Same innovative features and benefits as the Universal Ring.
• Tines set closer together for optimal separation of smaller teeth.
• Up to 4kgs of separating force, even on premolars.

 Matrices (5 sizes)

• Pronounced marginal ridge for ideal anatomy.
• Significantly greater curvature on the horizontal plane as the matrix wraps around the tooth.
• Gingival apron is optimally shaped to significantly prevent gaps in the gingival-axial corner.

 EZ Coat matrices (5 sizes)   

• The Palodent V3 EZ Coat matrices retain all the innovative features and benefits of Palodent V3 matrices but come with the added bonus of a micro-thin, non-stick finish that makes matrix removal even easier.
• Greater matrix curvature that helps improve the anatomical accuracy of the restoration.
• Five color-coded sizes as refills. 

WedgeGuards (3 sizes)

• Facilitates faster and easier cutting of cavities and lowers risk of interproximal damage to adjacent teeth.
• Guard detached after preparation, leaving the wedge in place.

• 100 x Matrices: 25 each size: 3.5 mm, 4.5 mm, 5.5 mm, 6.5 mm
• 75 x Wedges: 25 each size: Small, Medium, Large
• 30 x WedgeGuards: 10 each size: Small, Medium, Large
• 1 x Universal Ring
• 1 x Narrow Ring
• 1 x Forcep
• 1 x Pin Tweezer

• Select the appropriate size and shape of the matrix band based on the tooth being restored and the desired contour.
• Place the matrix band around the tooth, ensuring it fits snugly and adapts to the natural anatomy.
• Use the nickel-titanium retaining ring to secure the matrix band in place. Ensure a stable and firm placement to prevent any movement during the restoration process.
• Insert the adaptive, self-guiding wedges into the interproximal space, guiding the matrix band and creating a tight seal. Ensure the wedges are properly seated for optimal isolation.
• Proceed with the restorative procedure, such as composite resin placement or amalgam filling, following standard protocols and techniques.
• Once the restoration is complete, carefully remove the wedges by gently twisting and sliding them out.
• Loosen the retaining ring by gently pressing and rotating it to release the matrix band.
• Remove the matrix band by sliding it off the tooth in a controlled manner, taking care not to disrupt the restored area.
• Evaluate the restoration for proper contact and contour, making any necessary adjustments as needed.
• Clean and disinfect the Palodent V3 system components according to recommended guidelines before storing or reuse.

Question: Ate the matrices reusable, Can they be sterilized in autoclave?
Answer: The matrices in the Dentsply Palodent V3 Intro Kit Sectional Matrix System are not reusable and cannot be sterilized in an autoclave. It is essential to use new matrices for each patient to maintain proper infection control protocols and ensure optimal performance during dental procedures.

Question: What is the benefit of using the Palodent V3 sectional matrix system?
Answer: The Palodent V3 system ensures accurate contacts and contours in dental restorations, providing consistent outcomes, even in challenging cases. It offers stability, efficiency, and improved patient comfort.

Question: How do the nickel-titanium retaining rings contribute to the system?
Answer: The stable nickel-titanium retaining rings securely hold the matrix bands in place, ensuring stability during the restoration process and preventing unwanted movement or displacement.

Question: Are the matrix bands anatomically shaped?
Answer: Yes, the Palodent V3 system includes anatomically shaped matrix bands. These bands replicate natural contours, helping to create restorations that closely resemble the original tooth anatomy.

Question: Do the wedges provide effective isolation?
Answer: Yes, the adaptive, self-guiding wedges contribute to isolation by adapting to the tooth shape and guiding the matrix band into the correct position. They help create a tight seal, preventing leakage or contamination during the restoration process.

Question: How does the integrated workflow optimize procedures?
Answer: The Palodent V3 system's integrated workflow enhances speed, efficiency, and accuracy in dental restorations. It streamlines the process, saving time for both the dentist and the patient, while also ensuring consistent and reliable results.

Question: Can the Palodent V3 system be used with different restorative materials?
Answer: Yes, the Palodent V3 system is compatible with various restorative materials, including composite resin and amalgam. It offers versatility in accommodating different materials based on the dentist's preference and clinical requirements.
