Shop dental matrix bands and wedges at Chase Dental Supply for Class II amalgam and composite restorations. This category serves general and pediatric dental offices that need reliable contacts and contours. Choose from Tofflemire type bands by Mark3, contoured bands and Sycamore wedges by Premier Dental, and T-Bands by Pulpdent.
How to Choose Matrix Bands
• Retainer or retainerless: Mark3 Tofflemire type bands fit a standard Tofflemire retainer. Pulpdent T-Bands are self contained and do not need a retainer.
• Band thickness: Mark3 bands come in .001 ultra thin, .0015 thin and .002 standard. Thinner bands pass tight contacts more easily, while thicker bands hold shape under condensing pressure.
• Size and shape: #1 is adult universal, #2 is adult wide for deeper boxes, and #13 is the pedo universal band.
• Temper and contour: dead soft bands burnish easily against the adjacent tooth, and Premier pre-contoured metal bands add anatomy to the restoration.
• Wedges: Premier Sycamore Wedges come in assorted, mini and ultra thin sizes to seal the gingival margin and separate teeth slightly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between .001, .0015 and .002 matrix bands?
The number is the band thickness in inches. Ultra thin .001 bands slip through tight contacts and help create a firm contact, while .002 bands are stiffer and resist deforming during placement.
Do Pulpdent T-Bands need a matrix retainer?
No. T-Bands are contained matrix bands that form a loop on their own, so no Tofflemire retainer is required. They come in straight wide and straight narrow, 100 per pack.
Which matrix band fits a child’s molar?
The Mark3 #13 pedo universal band is sized for primary molars. Pair it with mini or ultra thin wedges for small embrasures.
