Saddle Matrix for Precise Dental Restorations in Egypt

The saddle matrix is a favorite among many Egyptian dentists for its ability to provide 360-degree support without the need for a bulky Tofflemire holder. Because the saddle matrix is self-securing, it is ideal for cases where you are restoring multiple adjacent surfaces. It provides a stable wall that is particularly useful when working on the last molar in the arch where space is limited.

How to Choose a Saddle Matrix for Better Contours

• Size Versatility: Ensure the set includes three distinct sizes (Small, Medium, Large) to provide a snug, anatomical fit around the neck of various tooth types.
• Balanced "Bridge" Flexibility: Look for a bridge that is rigid enough to maintain its shape under pressure, yet flexible enough to be burnished against the adjacent tooth for a precise contact point.
• Enhanced Grip Design: Prioritize matrices with perforated or textured surfaces on the wings. This feature allows for a more secure grip with placement forceps, preventing slippage during application.ps.
