Dental Wedges

Dental Wedges are essential restorative accessories used to secure matrix bands, achieve tight interproximal contact, and provide gentle gingival separation during dental restorations. By adapting the matrix snugly against the tooth, wedges help prevent overhangs, control gingival fluid, and improve the marginal seal of restorations.

Available in wooden or plastic options and multiple sizes/colors, dental wedges are widely used in composite, GIC, and amalgam restorations across dental clinics and teaching institutions.

Key Features & Benefits

• Wooden (Compressible) or Plastic (Pre-shaped) Options: Clinician preference

• Disposable & Hygienic: Single-use to minimize cross-contamination

Clinical Applications

• Class II restorations (composite, GIC, amalgam)
