Clinical Technique

Ultradent Halo Step-by-Step Guide

Select an appropriate matrix band based on required occlusogingival height. Using tweezers, grip the matrix band tab and bend as needed, then place interproximally with the concave surface facing the tooth to be restored.
Select wedge that best adapts matrix band to the gingival portion of the preparation. Grip wedge with cotton pliers.
Light finger pressure may need to be applied to the matrix band to prevent it from being dislodged during wedge placement.
If needed, an additional wedge may be used to provide greater adaptation to gingival cavosurface.
Carefully place Halo ring using the ring forceps.
The ring should be placed as low as possible with the tine ends of the ring straddling the wedge on each side of the tooth.
Inspect matrix band, wedge, and ring placement to ensure that the matrix band is well adapted to the cavosurface margins and that it is in intimate contact with the adjacent tooth.

Technical Details

Naturally Contoured, Stainless Steel Matrix Bands

The ultra-thin 0,038 mm stainless steel bands of the Halo sectional matrix system are anatomically contoured to the natural shape of the tooth. In particular, the curve at the marginal ridge creates an ideal occlusal embrasure. This helps to ensure that your restoration is anatomically accurate and reduces the time you must spend shaping and finishing the composite restoration.

Available in two varieties—Original and Firm—Halo matrix bands give you the flexibility that you need for the many restorations you perform. Original bands allow for more adaptability and better burnishing, while firm bands resist deformation and are ideal for tight interproximal spaces.

Halo matrix bands are easy to place and remove. Strategically placed tabs and tweezer holes allow for easy placement, manipulation, and removal using the Halo tweezers. Tabs are also bendable to allow for increased visibility. Firm Halo matrix bands are colour coded according to size to allow you to select the matrix band you need from the Halo carousel dispenser quickly and easily.
