Halo matrix bands are made of ultra-thin 0.038 mm stainless steel that is anatomically contoured to the natural shape of the tooth. The curve at the marginal ridge creates an ideal occlusal embrasure to help to ensure anatomically accurate restorations and reduce time shaping and finishing the composite restoration. Available in Original and Firm, Original bands allow for greater adaptability, while Firm bands are ideal for tight interproximal spaces. Firm matrix bands are available with or without a special coating that is colour coded according to size to assist you in selecting the correct band. Halo kits contain the complete Halo sectional matrix system, including the carousel dispenser. Other features and benefits include:
- Anatomically shaped bands reduce time spent shaping and finishing
- The occlusal curve helps achieve the correct shape faster
- Available in either Original or Firm
- Both original and firm bands are made from ultra-thin 0.038 mm stainless steel
- Non-stick Teflon™ coating available on Firm bands and has a thickness of 0.013 mm
- Tabs and tweezer holes allow for easy placement, manipulation, and removal
- Tab is bendable for increased visibility
- Original bands provide adaptability and better burnishing
- Firm bands resist deformation in tight interproximal spaces
Ultradent Halo Step-by-Step Guide
-
Select an appropriate matrix band based on required occlusogingival height. Using tweezers, grip the matrix band tab and bend as needed, then place interproximally with the concave surface facing the tooth to be restored.
-
Select wedge that best adapts matrix band to the gingival portion of the preparation. Grip wedge with cotton pliers.
-
Light finger pressure may need to be applied to the matrix band to prevent it from being dislodged during wedge placement.
-
If needed, an additional wedge may be used to provide greater adaptation to gingival cavosurface.
-
Carefully place Halo ring using the ring forceps.
-
The ring should be placed as low as possible with the tine ends of the ring straddling the wedge on each side of the tooth.
-
Inspect matrix band, wedge, and ring placement to ensure that the matrix band is well adapted to the cavosurface margins and that it is in intimate contact with the adjacent tooth.
Naturally Contoured, Stainless Steel Matrix Bands
The ultra-thin 0,038 mm stainless steel bands of the Halo sectional matrix system are anatomically contoured to the natural shape of the tooth. In particular, the curve at the marginal ridge creates an ideal occlusal embrasure. This helps to ensure that your restoration is anatomically accurate and reduces the time you must spend shaping and finishing the composite restoration.
Available in two varieties—Original and Firm—Halo matrix bands give you the flexibility that you need for the many restorations you perform. Original bands allow for more adaptability and better burnishing, while firm bands resist deformation and are ideal for tight interproximal spaces.
Halo matrix bands are easy to place and remove. Strategically placed tabs and tweezer holes allow for easy placement, manipulation, and removal using the Halo tweezers. Tabs are also bendable to allow for increased visibility. Firm Halo matrix bands are colour coded according to size to allow you to select the matrix band you need from the Halo carousel dispenser quickly and easily.
The Halo sectional matrix system is the reliable, superior matrix system you need for consistently better results. Learn how to use it quickly and easily to complete your restorations.
