Exciting New Tools for Superb Impressions

Bilateral winged wedges create more interproximal separation as well as creating “concrete formers” where most or all of a wall is missing thereby creating biomimetic restorations quickly and predictably. All of the current matrix and ring systems ignore the common problem of large missing sections of posterior teeth. If most or all of the lingual or buccal wall of a posterior tooth is missing the dentist usually resorts to the Old Faithful Tofflemeier band and retainer.

This course will feature six new items that optimize access, eliminate gagging, customize stock trays, distribute low viscosity materials three dimensionally, save expensive material, and grant ergonomic access to difficult areas. Time and material savings equate to a greater bottom line. Smaller female hands require changes in equipment.
