Triodent™

Sectional Matrix System

TRIODENT™ SECTIONAL V3 RINGS
MATRIX SYSTEM The Triodent V3 Rings are constructed from Nickel Titanium with glass fibre reinforced plastic tines
for optimal separation force on the teeth to produce consistently tight contacts. They are designed
for a wide range of cases where teeth are aligned or little tooth structure remains and available in

MATRIX BANDS
The Triodent™ Matrix Bands are anatomically shaped with a tab to support simple insertion and
removal with Triodent Pin-Tweezers. They are designed to support a wide range of clinical cases,
with a sub-gingival apron visible in the larger sizes for deep preparations. The pronounced
marginal ridge on the occlusal margin provides great anatomy to produce completely natural
looking Class II composite restorations that require minimal finishing, reducing time and stress for
the Clinician and improving overall patient satisfaction.
WEDGES
The highly anatomical shape of the Triodent Wedges provides an excellent contour and seal of the
gingival margin. Ease of placement and removal are assisted by the Triodent Pin Tweezers which
grip the hole in the end and minimise the risk of dropping the wedge. The V-shaped concavity in the
wedge protects the papilla and also allows stacking in situations where tightening of the matrix may
be required.

V3 TINES ACCOMMODATE WAVE-WEDGE

The side view shows how the V-shaped tines on the Triodent™ V3 Ring accommodate the wedge, allowing the tines to seat
firmly to maximise stability. The angle and subtly curved shape of the tines also ensures excellent adaptation of the matrix
against the tooth, especially on vertical margins, preventing flash.

V3 RING™ ON WIDE BOX WITH MISSING CUSP ORDERING INFORMATION
The Triodent V3 Ring can be used on a very wide box, even with a cusp missing, as long as there is still enough tooth
structure at or even below the gingival margin to support the tips of the tines. STARTER PACKS MATRIX BANDS
