Matrix systems for individual cavity preparations
INTRODUCTION
The first successful matrix was introduced in to dentistry by Dr. Louis Jack in 1871.
A dental matrix may be defined as a piece of properly
shaped material which forms the missing wall of the
restoration which gives form and shape to the restoration
during insertion and condensation of restorative material.

BASIC STEPS
Turn the large knurled nut until locking vise is inch from
head of the retainer
Small knurled nut turned counterclockwise until the screws
pointed end is clear of the locking vice
Make a loop of occlusal tooth diameter with matrix band by
bringing ends together.
Insert the looped matrix band into the correct slot of locking
vise and rotate small knurled nut to fix band in retainer
Position band and retainer around the tooth by passing
through contact areas.
Adjust the loop to perfectly encircle the tooth by rotating the
large knurled nut, making it secure
Disadvantages
Indications
Class I cavities with buccal or lingual extensions
Class II unilateral or bilateral cavities
WINDOW MATRIX
Modification of tofflemire
Advantages:
Rigid, stable, good access and visibility, good contact and
contour
Indications:
Class II unilateral or bilateral cavities, complex pin amalgam
restorations
BLACKS MATRICES
Early custom made matrice.
Consist of thin strip of stainless steel metal placed on the
proximal surface and then tied around the tooth with
dental floss or ligature.
Procedure
Cut a metallic band to extend slightly
over buccal and lingual surfaces of
the tooth beyond extremities of cavity
preparation.
An extension is created in
the occluso -gingival
cavity.
SOLDERED BAND OR SEAMLESS
COPPER BAND
Strip cut to allow belly to be placed in the contact Corners of the strips
trimmed.
For labial approach -> use fingers for left hand for holding the strip firmly
against lingual surface of the tooth.
After insertion of the material, reflect free end and hold the whole strip
firmly against restorative materials
TRANSPARENTANTERI
OR MATRIX BAND
WITH INTEGRATED
STAY
Self adhesive at one end.
Strip can be positioned and fastened
safely.
No need to hold the matrix band with a
finger
No hindrance to light curing.
CLEAR PLASTIC MATRIX
The McKean , Danville, Garrison have retentive designs. The first two
have converging tines, and the Garrison has retentive balls at the
tine end. The Palodent with parallel tines, lacks retentive design.
These systems rely on sectional
matrix with an inner concavity to give
form to the proximal restoration wall.
The matrices come in various sizes
thickness and shapes depending on
the manufacturer
