A sectional matrix for Class II composite restorations, FenderMate is designed to form optimal contact with no risk of cervical overhang, ,For any matrix system to be successful, it must accomplish two very important tasks: recreate contact to the adjacent tooth and effectively seal the proximal and gingival walls of the preparation. During Class II composite resto-rations—the bread and butter of virtually every general dentistry practice—it’s important to use a matrix system that was developed with predictability in mind. A precurved, one-piece sectional matrix, and wedge, FenderMate is designed to be inserted either buccally or lingually with minimal preparation. The matrix reaches from the base of the wedge to just above the occlusal surface, while the side of the wedge facing the adjacent tooth has an angled wing. During insertion, this wing presses the matrix firmly against the preparation, creating a tight seal at the cervical margin.,Available in 2 wedge sizes—regular and narrow—FenderMate has a precontoured indentation that mimics natural contours to form the optimal contact point. Most commonly inserted buccally, FenderMate allows for quick, safe, and predictable composite fillings with minimal risk of blood contamination in the cavity during restoration.,
– Class II cavity prepared for buccal placement of FenderMate, ,
– Precontoured FenderMate adjusts to the space and forms the optimal contact point, ,
= FenderMate can be left in place during initial finishing to protect the adjacent tooth
