    摘要: The integral restoration matrix system includes an arcuate frame having opposed upper and lower arcuate members and first and second opposed side members. The arcuate frame defines an open interior region. A matrix sheet is secured to the arcuate frame and extends across, and covers, the open interior region defined by the arcuate frame. First and second upper arcuate retaining arms are secured to, and extend from, respective upper ends of the first and second opposed side members. First and second lower arcuate retaining arms are secured to, and extend from, respective lower ends of the first and second opposed side members. A hemostatic mesh is secured to the lower arcuate member of the arcuate frame.

    摘要: A dental wedge (10) includes symmetrical sides (22, 24). The dental wedge (10) includes a restorative tooth side (24), the restorative tooth side (24) having a generally longitudinally extending planar wall (44) defined in part by an upper edge (34) and a lower edge (42), the planar wall (44) is inclined, wherein the planar wall (44) extends from the lower edge (42) upward and inward. The planar wall (44) includes an upper inclined surface (46) and a lower inclined surface (48), the planar wall (44) having a concave curve extending in a longitudinal direction, the upper inclined surface (46) generally defining the restorative tooth side (24). The wedge (10) further includes an adjacent tooth side (22), the adjacent tooth (22) side having a generally longitudinally extending planar leg (50), the planar leg (50) extends from the lower inclined surface (48) of the planar wall (44) at a location between the upper edge (34) and the lower edge (42), the planar wall (44) and planar leg (50) defining an inverted v-shaped channel (36) extending longitudinally, the planar leg (50) includes a lower edge (40) having a recessed area (30).

    摘要: Dental matrix bands with novel surface structures and use thereof in dental procedures are described herein. The band features a three-dimensional surface structure that is contoured to an outer portion of a torus to allow the band to securely fit around a tooth. The band comprises: an outer surface of the band; an upper and lower edge of the band; a proximal and distal end of the band; and a flattened region disposed along the band. The outer surface of the band forms a first convex curve between the upper edge and the lower edge of the band and a second convex curve between the proximal and the distal end of the band. The flattened region can extend between the upper edge and the lower edge of the band and between the proximal and distal ends of the band.

    摘要: Illuminated dental instrument assemblies (e.g., illuminated dental mirrors, illuminated dental wedges, trans-illumination dental instrument, illuminated dental bite blocks, etc.) are provided. The illuminated dental instrument assemblies may be adapted to be periodically sterilized. The illuminated dental instrument assemblies may include a magnetically energetic fiber optic coupler. The magnetically energetic fiber optic coupler may be configured to allow the illuminated dental instrument assembly to rotate with respect to an associated fiber optic cable that is removably connected to the magnetically energetic fiber optic coupler. The illuminated dental instrument assemblies may include a fiber optic material that is encapsulated.

    摘要: Disclosed is a dental wedge and system comprising a dental wedge and a tool. The dental wedge includes a spherical gripping portion at an end, which provides surfaces extending generally transverse relative to a longitudinal axis of the dental wedge. A tool is configured to engaged with the spherical gripping portion so that a user may manipulate the tool in order to manipulate the dental wedge.
