This FREE 1 hour webinar is all about those Class II composites that aren't basic. When you’re ready to go beyond a typical MO, you’ll need the tips and tricks to ensure a predictable result. Advanced Sectional Matrix Techniques will give you the information to master the necessary skills. Join us live Tuesday, June 7th at 8:00 pm Eastern for this FREE event.
Dr. James Braun, one of Dentistry Today’s Top 100 Clinicians in Dental Education, will present case studies and relevant materials supporting his practical approach to Class IIs (AGD subject code 250). Methods and materials for eliminating post op sensitivity will be reviewed as well as how to achieve optimal interproximal contacts and contour. Then, it’s time to break out the typodont, latest composite, bonding agent and matrix system. Dr.
Until recently, products available to manage anterior composite restorations have remained largely unchanged. Now, new technology has emerged that has brought innovation to this area of dentistry. During the first part of this course, Dr. JD Corey will review a variety of anterior composite matrix systems and techniques.
Yes. All FitStrip components are fully autoclavable. Please follow sterilization guidelines found on our website. They're located on the homepage near the slideshow feature.
Fusion wedges are single patient disposable items and should not be sterilized and reused.
Fusion rings should be engaged with a Garrison forceps on the metal portion that is between the plastic backing and the plastic tips. DO NOT engage the plastic as you may cause damage to the ring.
Yes. The FitStrip handle properly attaches to all the abrasive strips within the FitStrip line.
The Rally system is designed as a single patient, disposable finishing and polishing system. Autoclaving while possible, is not recommended.
Fusion rings should be cleaned before sterilization with a soft plastic brush and warm water. You can use a mild detergent alongside warm water if needed (no harsh chemicals should be used in this process). Sterilization is not a substitute for proper cleaning. If debris has accumulated due to improper cleaning, the use of a scaler or other metal instrument may be needed to gently scrape the debris from the ring tips. Debris does not negatively impact ring performance or reduce ring life; it's simply not aesthetically pleasing. To sterilize the rings, steam autoclave only.
There is no set number of expected uses. During internal testing, opening the ring to 10mm between the tips and placing it on a typical molar, the ring provides proper separating pressure for hundreds of cycles. Your use will vary depending on how far you open the rings to place them and if you're properly cleaning, sterilizing, and storing them between uses.
Yes and no. Use of the blue silicon carbide polisher is optional. The coarse blue polisher is used for faster removal and contouring and may not be necessary depending on the situation. The red medium grit and gray high shine should be used in the proper order to achieve the best possible polish.
The short blue Fusion matrix ring (FX400) has shorter tips for better engagement with short teeth. The blue ring also grips better in challenging locations such as the distal of the canine or on top of rubber dam clamps. The blue ring is also preferred for pedodontic applications.
The tall orange Fusion ring (FX500) has taller tips for proper matrix band adaptation on taller teeth. The orange ring is also designed to stack over top of the blue ring without interference for MOD or multiple tooth restorations.
The green Fusion ring (FX600) is for wide preparations where you may be missing a cusp or have an extra wide embrasure to restore where a traditional matrix ring would crumple your matrix band into the prep.
