Dental Material Dental Matrix Band for Teeth Restoring

A matrix band is a dental tool used to establish the foundation for a missing proximal wall of a tooth preparation. It can be metal or plastic and is designed to maintain its shape against the tooth walls to support tight contacts during dental procedures.

A dental matrix is a type of band adaptable to the surface of the tooth it is restoring, enabling it to reproduce the tooth's anatomical contours. This means it is able to replace missing walls, meaning a composite cavity becomes a simple cavity for efficient restoration.
