Generic Celluloid strip Egypt (100 pcs)

These Celluloid Strips (100 pcs) are transparent dental matrix strips used across Egyptian clinics and dental schools to shape and contour anterior composite restorations. Made from clear, flexible celluloid, each strip lets curing light pass through the material while you hold the interproximal contact, giving Class III and Class IV composite fillings a smooth, natural finish.

Clinical Uses

• Class III and Class IV anterior composite restorations
• Establishing a tight, anatomically correct interproximal contact with the adjacent tooth
• Light-curing composite through a transparent barrier without a matte celluloid haze
• Undergraduate restorative dentistry practicals

Key Features

• Fully Transparent – Allows light-curing lamps to polymerize composite directly through the strip
• Thin & Flexible – Wraps easily around the tooth to adapt to the interproximal contour
• Smooth Edges – Reduces gingival trauma and patient discomfort on insertion/removal
• 100-Piece Box – Enough single-use strips for a full clinic day or semester of practicals

FAQ

Can composite be light-cured directly through this strip?
Yes — the celluloid is fully transparent, so curing light passes through without blocking polymerization.

Are these strips reusable?
No, they're intended as single-use, disposable strips for hygiene and consistent results per restoration.

Do I need a wedge with this strip?
Yes, a wedge is normally placed alongside the strip to hold it against the tooth and prevent gingival overhang.

What's the difference between this and a Mylar/matrix band strip?
Celluloid strips are used specifically for light-cured composite because they're transparent; opaque matrix bands are typically used for amalgam or glass ionomer instead.
