• standard ring № 1.099(5) – tines height – 5 mm • low ring № 1.099(4) – tines height – 4 mm • high ring № 1.099(6) – tines height – 6 mm

№ 1.099А has the same construction of tines as standard ring № 1.099 for sectional matrices. Addition of extra loop on the ring makes it more flexible and allows to operate in wider range of opening without increase of residual distance between tines after use.

Rings with flat tines (flat rings) are recommended for significant destruction in the area of the contact point.

Double tines of Delta ring are suitable for installation of fixing wedges and add-on wedges.

Tines of MD ring provide the most non-fluctuating placement with sufficient space for wedge.

Tines of D ring are curved inwards to fix matrix on distal side of the tooth.

Tines of M ring are curved out to fix matrix on mesial side of the tooth.

Select a matrix of the required length and, outside the oral cavity, insert the tines of the springclip into the tubes on the matrix edges. Installation with ring: select a matrix of the required length and connect it with the ring outside the oral cavity. Using forceps (see p. 25 of the Catalogue), install the system on the tooth. When operating with the ring: 1) before starting, make sure there is no rust on the ring surface and no signs of damage to the integrity of the ring; 2) perform all ring-opening manipulations outside the patient's oral cavity; 3) avoid high-speed opening of the ring; 4) do not open the ring tines wider than 10-12 mm.

Ring № 1.033А has the same construction of tines as standard ring № 1.033 for saddle matrices. Addition of extra loop on the ring makes it more flexible and allows to operate in wider range of opening without increase of residual distance between tines after use.

Perforated matrices are 50 μm thick. As a rule, the matrix holder is joined to the matrix outside the oral cavity: the working elements are inserted into those holes that will lie roughly in line with the interdental space when the matrix is placed on the tooth. The working elements of the matrix holders resemble a crab's claw: they are inserted into the holes at the edges of the matrix and, closing on the side of the tooth opposite the contact point being restored, secure the matrix. The tines of the No. 1.022 ring and of the fixators are ground down for the best entry into the interdental space.

Insert the ends of the Pony matrix into the slots in the tines of the ring or of the Slot fixator. Choose the loop length so that it can encircle about 3/4 of the circumference of the tooth being restored; the loop length can be adjusted by moving the matrix ends within the slots of the tines. After adjustment, bend back the edges of the matrix and place the system on the tooth using the forceps (see p. 25 of the Catalogue). ATTENTION! When working with the ring: 1) before starting, make sure there are no traces of rust on the ring surface and no signs of damage to the ring's integrity; 2) perform all ring-spreading manipulations outside the patient's oral cavity; 3) avoid abrupt spreading of the ring; 4) do not spread the ring tines apart by more than 10–12 mm.

Matrix-holder ring made of nitinol (nickel-titanium alloy) for molars. It returns to its original shape after any opening and maintains high clamping force throughout its service life.

Matrix-holder ring made of nitinol (nickel-titanium alloy) for premolars. It returns to its original shape after any opening and maintains high clamping force throughout its service life.
