Minnesota-based manufacturer 3M Oral Care has introduced a new custom matrix system that aims to make composite placement less stressful and more predictable.
When using 3M Filtek Matrix, a restorative procedure begins with a custom digital restoration design. Since Filtek relies on additive composite techniques, it requires little to no tooth reduction. In a clinical evaluation, dentists reported that using the matrix increased their confidence, delivered predictable and aesthetic results, and saved chair time.
