Straight Matrix Band

A straight matrix band is a dental tool used to create a temporary wall around a tooth during restorative procedures, particularly when placing a filling. It is typically made of thin, flexible metal and is designed to wrap around the tooth, providing a stable and smooth surface against which the dental material can be shaped and cured. This ensures that the filling conforms to the natural contours of the tooth, preventing overhangs and gaps, and restoring the tooth’s structure and function. The straight matrix band is essential for achieving precise, high-quality restorations in dental practice.
