Mylar Strips – Transparent Matrix Strips for Aesthetic Dental Restorations

Mylar Strips are thin, transparent polyester matrix strips used during composite restorations, especially in anterior teeth, to achieve smooth surfaces, proper contours, and tight interproximal contacts. Their clarity allows optimal light penetration during curing, ensuring excellent polymerization and a high-gloss finish.

Essential in restorative and cosmetic dentistry, Mylar strips support precise shaping while minimizing finishing time.
