Traditional matrix bands struggle in these regions, but our matrix’s pre-trimmed height allows for better contour and fit, making it ideal for non-surgical deep-margin elevation. 
• Easy removal — The non-stick coating significantly reduces bonding agent build-up, making the removal process smoother and faster.

FAQs

What is a Tofflemire matrix band?

A Tofflemire matrix band is a thin, flexible strip of stainless steel used in restorative dentistry. It is placed around a tooth to create a temporary wall for cavity restorations, helping to shape and support the filling material during the procedure. The band ensures proper contour and contact between teeth, particularly for class II restorations involving interproximal areas. It allows dentists to restore tooth structure while preventing excess material from spreading into adjacent teeth.

What is a Tofflemire matrix band used for?

A Tofflemire matrix band is used in restorative dentistry to help shape and support dental fillings, particularly in cases of cavity restorations. It acts as a temporary wall around the tooth being treated, allowing the dentist to restore the tooth’s original contour and ensure proper contact with adjacent teeth. This is especially important for class II restorations where cavities affect the sides of the teeth. The band prevents the filling material from spreading into neighbouring teeth, helping to create a smooth, natural surface.
