SafeMatrix is simple for dental assistants to set up and is ready to use right out of its branded, individual cellophane wrapper. It slides easily over the tooth, and the retainer handle is smooth against the patient’s cheek. Colored handles provide clear visualization of wide or narrow size. The diverter is a simple push-button mechanism to narrow the cervical side of the band, and the tightening mechanism has deep grooves for effortless control to adjust effortlessly to snug the band around the tooth. The adjustment screw is completely enclosed within the plastic housing, protecting patients’ soft tissues from trauma. The SafeMatrix band is less contoured than traditional bands and performs best in cases without a wide interproximal space to span.
