ORIGINAL PALODENT
Palodent is more useful with
small composite preparations
the convave area of the palodent faces the
box
what is a drawback of the original palodent
doesn’t allow wedging
ALL SECTIONAL MATRICES REQUIRE
A RUBBER DAM
what palodent do we use at UMKC
Palodent PLus
Palodent PLus has
four choices of band and two choices of ring clamp
The Palodent Plus system allows a
wedge to be placed before
the ring clamp is seated
the T band is mostly used in
pedodontics
the automatrix limitations
- Must be held in place by your non-
dominant hand when there are no
undercuts on the side walls of the tooth
(as when tooth has been prepared for a
crown). - Doesn’t work well when tooth defects
go far apically.
copper band removal
- use 169 and make a vertical slit through the copper
- in peel the metal back
copper band matrix limitations
- hard to get true contact with teeth next door (better on crown prep tooth)
- must be stabilized with your non-dominant hand while packing
amalgam - Copper bands are subject to strain hardening if you “work” the metal
very much.
