open side
A ____________ of some type is required to address that A Class II amalgam preparation has an open side on the interproximal
matrix band
The Functions of a Good Matrix Band
- Has enough ridgity to resist to much deformation
- assists in establich proper anatomy
- prevents excess amalgam from getting into gingival margins
- convential to install
- easy to remove
TLDR Can’t be
too stiff or thick.
The universal (tofflemire) matrix includes
- tofflemire band
- tofflemire retainer
- wooden wedge
when Inserting Band into the Tofflemire Retainer start by turn turning inner nut ________________ until slot vice is about ________ from the guide channels.
counterclockwise; 1/4 inch
the wider opening in loop is _________ the occlusal of the tooth
toward
Slot in slot vice is toward the _____ of the tooth
Gingival
What is the most common way to install the Tofflemire Band on the Tooth
- Retainer on the Buccal Side
- Band Emerges From One of the Side Guide Channels
what is the second way to install the Tofflemire Band on the Tooth?
- Retainer on the Lingual Sid
- Requires use of a Contra-Angle
Retainer - Useful with missing Buccal Tooth
Structure.
what is the 3rd way to install the Tofflemire Band on the Tooth
- The Band Emerges Through the Middle Channel
- more usefull in maxilla
in clincial cases if the band does not fit
cut the “apron” off with scissors
in clinical cases if the band needs to flare out more to restore convexity
remove the band assembly and use a ball burnisher and egg burnisher with the band resting on a paper pad
take care not to trap the ______ between the damn and tofflemire band
- rubber dam
- gingival tissue
if there is a open margin between the band and tooth use
wedge
placed correctly*****
do not let the wedge force the
band into the box
if the there is an especially wide
interproximal space and a gingivally deep
box you can
double wedge (horizontally from the facial and the
lingual)
if there is ingival recession and a proximal
box of moderate depth you can
double wedge (stacked” fashion to close the
gingival margin)
if there is an interproximal fluting (root concavity) at margin you need to
Insert wedge at an
angle through the
more open embrasure
when loading the amalgam into a class 2 prep where do you unload it first
into the box
which portion of the almalgam class 2 should you condense first?
the box
