This matrix band will permanently bond to the filling and the tooth. It becomes a permanent part of the composite restoration and may be wholly retained, partially retained, or completely removed depending upon the needs of the dentist, patient and the specific purpose for which this band is used. The dentist forms a prepared cavity. The thin, flexible composite matrix band is then inserted between the tooth (30) and the adjacent tooth (32). The band (10) is firmly held against the tooth with the surface of the band passively abutting the adjacent tooth. A bonding agent is applied to the appropriate tooth surfaces, the cavity and the band. The agent is cured, the prepared cavity is filled with a composite resin, the resin is cured and the excess portion of the band is removed. <IMAGE> |
