"Garrison continues to amaze me with their innovations. I didn't think the sectional matrix and slick bands could be improved, then they came out with the 3D XR. I stand corrected...it is outstanding!"

"As a pediatric dentist, I am always looking to provide comfort for my child patients, and at the same time, using products that allow me to perform excellent restorations. The new 3D Soft-Face rings help me do both."

"I just love what you guys come up with! After all, you're dentists really. These wands are absolutely the most sensible solution to one of those problems that we don't even know we have, we just get along with the hemostats, etc. When you see these Wands you say, "Why didn't anyone think of that before!" I have a few retired dentists as patients and one was in today and said just that. He couldn't believe how simple and great these are. Thanks!"

"The eZr system is the only polishing system that actually polishes zirconia to smooth. Research tells us that zirconia is not over-abrasive to opposing dentition so long as it is polished to smooth. The eZr system is the only one I've tried that does this. With all the other kits, there are still visible bur marks after polishing."

"3D rings are the real topic of Garrison's systems. The "v" shape of the ring that fits in the interproximal area allows a good fitting between the cavity margins and the matrix in the buccal and palatal walls. This results in an easier positioning of the composite masses close to the cavity margins and also the final remodeling usually necessary at the time of removal of the matrix will be very minimal. The rings also permit a divergence of the interproximal dental elements, and this causes a great point of contact. Garrison systems make Class II restorations simpler and more predictable and also reduce the operating time of the finishes when the matrix is taken off."

"With a review from 25 evaluation team members and used on 218 patients, the Reel Matrix by Garrison Dental Solutions was welcomed with open arms to all the dental assistants who used it."

"I use the eZr system on all zirconia and e.max crowns. This product has been fantastic at polishing zirconia...much better than many other brands!"

"The new Marginal Elevation bands from Garrison are a true revelation! Their reduced height and pronounced curve makes close adaptation of the bands to the deep margin easy without having to resort to cutting standard matrix strips. By allowing us to raise the margins of deep restorations without removing the rubber dam they are a must for anyone providing adhesive dentistry!"

"Adjusted areas polished with the two eZr grits look like smooth glass when examined using my 4.5x loupes!"

"The learning curve on the other rings was that they sometimes would not stay where you put them because their contact points on the tooth surface were small and few. With these grippers, the rings hold steady the first time you seat them into position. Accordingly, MOD's are no more difficult than MO's or DO's. Congratulations on an excellent product!"

"We produced the margin elevation band to facilitate the deep margin elevation technique which is becoming increasingly popular with adhesive dentistry. Properly performed, this technique allows for a conservative indirect restoration to be completed without additional invasive treatments. The use of this band and unique matrix shape allows the band to form a tight seal in deeper cervical areas where other bands would usually be unable to reach."

"This new modification of the ring makes a lot of sense, and since some newer ring designs allow for better wedge placement, this new design offers two benefits – allows the placement of the wedge and the ring over top of it more easily, and the interproximal extension provides better separating force while adapting the matrix creating less flash and less work for the dentist in finishing class II composites. It is a definite step in the right direction."
