Temrex Tofflemire Matrix Bands Temrex Tofflemire matrix bands are precision-engineered stainless steel strips used with a Tofflemire retainer to create a temporary wall around a tooth during Class II restorations. They provide the necessary contour and contact to restore natural tooth anatomy while maintaining stability during placement of restorative material. Features > High-quality stainless steel, available in regular (tempered) or dead soft (annealed) for different levels of rigidity and adaptability > Provides proper contour, contact, and stability for amalgam or composite restorations Thickness Options > .0010″ (0.025mm) – Ultra Thin Dead Soft > .0015″ (0.038mm) – Extra Thin > .0020″ (0.050mm) – Thin (standard use) Designs, Common Shapes and Numbers > No.1 Universal – Standard width, straight > No.2 Mod Wide – Wider for molars > No.3 Mod Narrow – Narrower for smaller teeth > No.13 Junior/Paediatric – Narrow and shorter for primary teeth Dead Soft Vs Regular Tofflemire Matrix Bands Dead soft matrix bands are more adaptable, easier to contour and burnish, ideal for tight interproximal contacts. Ultra Thin Dead Soft Tofflemire Matrix Bands Material condition: Dead soft stainless steel, annealed, no spring/rigidity Thickness: .0010″ (0.025 mm) Properties: Very pliable, easy to burnish and shape closely to the tooth anatomy Use: Excellent when very tight proximal contacts are required, or when working in very narrow interproximal spaces. Ultra Thin Regular Tofflemire Matrix Bands Material condition: Regular (tempered) stainless steel, has spring/rigidity Thickness: .0010″ (0.025 mm) Properties: Stiffer than dead soft, maintains its shape better when placed and tightened in the retainer Use: Good where stability and resistance to deformation are required during packing of amalgam or composite
