Clinician's Choice® DualForce™ Ultra-Wrap™ Matrix Bands are designed to wrap the tooth snugly, making them truly versatile. DualForce bands are thin, yet stiff enough to prevent crimping during placement. An interproximal contour and marginal ridge ensure a natural contact is created every time. Other features and benefits include:
- Curved marginal ridge of matrix bands reduces finishing time
- Proximal contour of band ensures optimal contact position and shape
- Matrix tab allows easy placement and removal
- Available in three sizes (4.5 mm, 5.5 mm and 6.5 mm)
- Unique Punch Pliers (included in Complete Kit or sold individually) allow for an easy grip of the matrix band when placing; while punching the band for secure removal
-
With rubber dam in place (Clinician's Choice® True™ Dental Dam), pre-op view of wide Class II on first molar requiring replacement.
-
Ultra-Wrap matrix band in place extending well beyond the proximal line angles. Ultra-Wrap is made from .0015" semi-hard stainless steel making it more resistant to crimping during placement.
-
The Active-Wedge tip collapses during insertion for easy placement, then re-expands when fully seated, regaining full contour for an improved matrix band seal.
-
Once seated, the DualForce Sectional Matrix System provides a complete gingival seal with a tight vertical seal of the matrix band along with a strong and stable separation force, resulting in less chance of composite flash.
-
First increment of Evanesce Restorative material adapted to include Ultra-Wrap's pre-contoured occlusal lip, establishing an ideal rolling marginal ridge.
-
Evanesce composite adapts to the internal surfaces of the preparation with excellent packability.
-
Evanesce is easily sculpted with no slumping, efficiently and effectively establishing the ideal occlusal anatomy before the final curing.
-
The A.S.A.P. Pre-polisher gently diminishes small surface defects without affecting anatomy.
-
Pre-polishing completed.

After just 10-15 seconds of polishing with the A.S.A.P. Final High Shine Polisher, the final esthetic restoration with an optimal proximal contact.

Deep Class II pre-molar preparation.
-
DualForce Punch Pliers pinch and grip the matrix's occlusal tab allowing for easy placement of the matrix band.
-
The Active-Wedge tip collapses during insertion for easy placement, then re-expands when fully seated, regaining full contour for an improved matrix band seal.
-
DualForce Rings are easy to expand, yet provide more separation force once placed. DualForce Rings adapt intimately in the embrasure area.
-
Once seated, the DualForce Sectional Matrix System provides a complete gingival seal with a tight vertical seal of the matrix band along with a strong and stable separation force, resulting in less chance of composite flash.
-
MaxEtch, G5 Desensitizer and MPa Max Adhesive provide outstanding bond strength and dentin/enamel seal. Evanesce (shade A1D) Restorative Material is incrementally placed into the preparation.
-
Evanesce composite adapts to the internal surfaces of the preparation with excellent packability using the REJ #10 posterior non-stick instrument.
-
Once the restoration is fully cured, DualForce Punch Pliers may be used anywhere along the matrix band to perforate it for a secure grip and easy removal. Lack of flash and overhangs greatly reduce finishing time.
-
Diamond impregnated A.S.A.P. Pre-Polisher (10-15 seconds) and Final High Shine polisher (10-15 seconds) quickly result in a beautiful luster.
-
Final esthetic restoration that mimics natural form and function.
