TOR VM Saddle Metal Matrices are thin, flexible strips of metal that are used in dental restorations to create a temporary wall around a tooth to hold the restorative material in place while it sets. They are used to shape the material and create a natural-looking contour for the tooth. The edges of saddle matrices are performed as cylinder-shape tubes where tines of spring clip or clamp are inserted upon matrix installation.

In Class II restorations
In deep cavities involving more than 2 surfaces

Matrices are available in thickness – 0.050 mm

Preparation:
Ensure that the tooth to be restored is properly isolated and cleaned. Use rubber dam isolation if necessary.
The cavity preparation should be completed, with the margins well defined and free of debris.
Matrix Selection:
Choose the appropriately sized Tor VM Saddle Contoured Matrix to match the anatomy of the tooth you are restoring. These matrices come in different sizes and contours, so pick one that fits snugly around the tooth and covers the prepared cavity.
Placement:
Place the matrix band around the tooth, ensuring that it is positioned around the cervical margin and extends to cover the prepared portion of the tooth. The saddle shape should align with the natural contour of the tooth.
Ensure the matrix is snug, but not overly tight, to avoid distortion during the restoration process.
Securing the Matrix:
Use a matrix holder or retainer to secure the matrix in place. This ensures that the matrix stays properly aligned while you are placing the filling material.
If necessary, use a wedge to ensure the matrix stays securely in position, especially in the interproximal areas, to prevent leakage of restorative material.
Restoration Placement:
Once the matrix is in place, proceed with placing the restorative material (such as composite resin or amalgam) into the cavity.
Carefully sculpt the restorative material to match the natural contours of the tooth. Use layering techniques if needed to ensure optimal adaptation and curing.
Finishing and Polishing:
After the restoration has set or cured, remove the matrix gently.
Check the contact points and the occlusion to ensure that the restoration is well-contoured and does not interfere with the patient’s bite.
Finish and polish the restoration for a smooth, functional surface.
Post-Treatment Care:
After completing the restoration, provide the patient with post-treatment instructions, particularly on how to care for the newly restored tooth.
