• Accurate Contacts:
• Poor contact can cause fractures, food impaction, gingival inflammation, and recurrent caries.
• Palodent V3 nickel-titanium rings provide consistent separation force on molars and premolars.
• Securely holds the anatomically shaped Palodent V3 matrix against the preparation for predictable, accurate contacts every time.
• Tight Seal:
• Essential for success when using resin-based restoratives.
• The ring, matrix, and wedges work together to create a tight seal around the restorative field.
• Enables clinicians to proceed confidently with the procedure.
• Increased Efficiency:
• System components seal and shape the restoration, minimizing flash and reducing finishing time.
• Reduces the likelihood of restoration errors due to poor contacts.
• Configurable for multiple restorations at once.
• Wedge Guard protects the adjacent tooth, allowing stress-free cavity preparation.
• Stress-Free Class II Restorations:
• When combined with SDR® (Smart Dentin Replacement), simplifies and optimizes Class II procedures.
• Palodent V3 and SDR together enable fast, efficient, and reliable restorations with minimal stress.

The Palodent V3 Sectional Matrix System is an advanced solution designed to provide precise and reliable results in dental restorations. It is engineered to ensure accurate contacts and natural tooth contours, even in challenging cases with wide cavities or missing cusps.

A key feature of the system is its nickel-titanium retaining rings, which securely hold the matrix bands in place. These rings offer exceptional stability during the restoration process, a critical factor for achieving consistent and predictable outcomes.

The system also includes anatomically shaped matrix bands, specifically designed to replicate natural tooth anatomy. These bands help produce restorations that closely resemble the original contours of the tooth, resulting in seamless and aesthetically pleasing restorations.

To enhance isolation and create a tight seal, Palodent V3 utilizes adaptive, self-guiding wedges. These wedges conform to the shape of the preparation, guiding the matrix band into the correct position while preventing leakage or contamination. They also contribute to the overall stability of the system.

With its integrated workflow, Palodent V3 optimizes speed, efficiency, and accuracy in dental restorations. Dentists can confidently perform even complex procedures, knowing that the system is designed to deliver consistent and reliable results, saving time while ensuring patient comfort and satisfaction.

• Wedges (3 sizes):
• Compress on entry and flare upon exit for easy placement and tight seal.
• Hollow underside allows placement of a second wedge from the opposite side.
• Forceps:
• Locking function with angled grip arms secures the ring mesially and distally.
• Built-in grooves allow easy ring resetting.
• Pin Tweezers:
• Pin-in tip grips matrices, wedges, and Wedge Guards for precise control.
• Naturally closed position reduces the risk of dropping components.
• Built-in ball burnisher in the tip for added convenience.
• Universal Ring (Light Blue):
• Nickel-titanium construction provides excellent spring strength, memory, and consistent separation force.
• Stackable design for versatility.
• Glass-fiber reinforced plastic tines are v-shaped to accommodate wedges.
• Narrow Ring (Dark Blue):
• Shares features of the Universal Ring.
• Tines set closer together for optimal separation of smaller teeth.
• Provides up to 4 kg of separating force, suitable for premolars.
• Matrices (5 sizes):
• Pronounced marginal ridge ensures ideal anatomy.
• Increased horizontal curvature wraps around the tooth for better fit.
• Optimally shaped gingival apron minimizes gaps in the gingival-axial corner.
• EZ Coat Matrices (5 sizes):
• Retain all Palodent V3 features with a micro-thin, non-stick coating for easier removal.
• Greater curvature improves anatomical accuracy of restorations.
• Five color-coded sizes available as refills.
• WedgeGuards (3 sizes):
• Protect adjacent teeth during cavity preparation and allow faster, safer cutting.

Detachable guard leaves the wedge in place after preparation.

• Select Matrix Band:
• Choose the appropriate size and shape based on the tooth and desired contour.
• Place Matrix Band:
• Fit the band around the tooth, ensuring snug adaptation to natural anatomy.
• Secure with Retaining Ring:
• Use the nickel-titanium ring to hold the matrix band firmly in place, preventing movement during restoration.
• Insert Wedges:
• Place adaptive, self-guiding wedges into the interproximal space to guide the matrix band and create a tight seal.
• Ensure wedges are properly seated for optimal isolation.
• Perform Restoration:
• Carry out the restorative procedure (composite resin or amalgam) following standard protocols.
• Remove Wedges:
• Carefully twist and slide wedges out once the restoration is complete.
• Remove Retaining Ring:
• Gently press and rotate the ring to release the matrix band.
• Remove Matrix Band:
• Slide the matrix band off the tooth in a controlled manner, avoiding disruption of the restored area.
• Evaluate Restoration:
• Check contacts and contours, making adjustments as needed.
• Clean and Disinfect Components:
