The innovative design and integrated tightener of Palodent 360 help to achieve optimal contacts and anatomically natural contours, all with just a twist of your fingers.
No bulky accessory instruments required, allowing for efficiency (no set up required), ease of placement, better access, clear view of the operating field and greater patient comfort.
Palodent 360 is compatible with all commonly used dental composites, adhesives, etches, amalgams and other Dentsply Sirona Class II Solution products. For better restorations, faster and easier than you ever thought possible. A user study showed that 90% of circumferential matrix users said that Palodent 360 allowed them to create anatomically correct contacts and contours.1
BENEFITS
Palodent 360’s pre-contoured band curvature ensures restoration creates broad contacts in the middle ⅓ of the tooth to reduce the risk of food traps and recurrent caries. Pair it with Palodent Plus wedges for an excellent seal.
Palodent 360 recreates the contours and the wedge provides a tight seal at the floor of the proximal box.
Simply twist the integrated thumbwheel tightener to tighten and loosen the band. Unlike other circumferential matrix systems, there is no need for separate bulky retainers that block your field of view. With quick and easy positioning, Palodent 360 helps to create minimal flash after the restoration and to reduce the need for extensive finishing time.
The pre-contoured matrix band is easy to place, remove, tighten, loosen and adjust. When used with the Palodent Plus retaining ring, you can gain temporary access to tight interproximal spaces, and the Palodent Plus wedges protect gingival papillae and seal at the gingival margin.
The compact design of Palodent 360 keeps patients comfortable and does not hinder your ability to see and work, even in difficult access areas. A user evaluation indicated that 90% of circumferential matrix users said the Palodent 360 provided a clear view of the restorative field.¹
Palodent 360 accommodates a multitude of positions on posterior teeth. Regardless of placement, field of view and instrument accessibility is maintained.
Palodent 360 is all you need to ensure tight contacts and natural contours especially when you cannot use the Palodent Plus sectional matrix system like when there is a missing adjacent tooth, a mis-aligned tooth, or a missing cusp.
Palodent 360 matrix bands are compatible with Palodent Plus retaining rings that can be used to gain temporary required space in tight interproximal spaces.
They are also compatible with Palodent Plus wedges for an optimal seal.
Natural contours and optimal contacts with a simple twist of the fingers.
Palodent 360 Matrix bands are designed to be placed in a multitude of positions to accommodate field of view, loss of tooth structure, and accessibility for instruments.
Palodent 360 circumferential matrix bands can be for all Class II restorations, but especially useful for difficult Class II Cases when there is no adjacent tooth, too much tooth structure is missing to use a sectional matrix, or if there is a mis-aligned or severely rotated tooth.
Choose a band that slightly exceeds the height of the occlusal circumference.
Use a Palodent Plus retaining ring or pre-wedge to create separation before placing the matrix. Palodent products are designed to work together.
Pre-tighten the band prior to placement to minimize excess slack.
Place the thumbwheel anywhere along the secure tooth wall to achieve the best field of view and accessibility.
Grasp the thumbwheel and move the white retaining body forward in a ratcheting motion. Release the thumbwheel, allowing the retaining body to return back to center. Repeat until the band is snug.
Reverse rotation on the thumbwheel (counterclockwise) and wiggle slightly back and forth to loosen matrix band.
