Used primarily for Class II posterior composite restorations, the Garrison Dental Solutions NiTin Sectional Matrix System’s ring construction differentiates it from competing products, the company reports. Created from drawn-wire Nitinol, which is used in orthodontics and other medical applications, the material undergoes a process of molecular alignment that produces unparalleled spring qualities that ensure “like new” separating forces even after hundreds of uses, according to Garrison.
Resiliency is reinforced with polyether ether ketone or PEEK, a super-plastic renowned for its durability that is used exclusively in the construction of the NiTin’s backer and tips, Garrison says. Unlike non-drawn-wire nickel titanium, when compared to other rings on the market, the NiTin sectional matrix ring provides superior resiliency and significantly longer life, the company says.
“This new system represents a major advancement in sectional matrix technology. With a unique combination of materials, reflected in the only ring on the market manufactured with PEEK and Nitinol, we hope clinicians are as pleased as we are with NiTin’s performance and enhanced capabilities versus other products on the market,” said Jason Philips, director of marketing at Garrison. “Further, through Garrison’s advancements in manufacturing technology, we are able to introduce NiTin at a significantly lower price point compared to other nickel titanium rings.”
The kit also includes matrix bands developed with a significantly pronounced curvature designed to make replication of tooth shapes easier and more predictable. Plus, the kit includes color-coded, anatomically correct wedges to aid in interproximal separation and sealing of the band. The kit additionally comes with ergonomically designed ring placement forceps as well as band placement and removal forceps.
