The Halo system produces anatomically shaped contours so you can spend less time shaping and finishing your restoration. And it provides consistently tight contacts, helping to ensure that your restoration will have the longevity both you and your patient expect.
Maximum tooth separation is achieved through the force of the nitinol ring and the active wedging provided by the wedges. This ideal system of separation allows you to restore a single tooth or back-to-back restorations with ease. The unique beak design of the Halo ring allows the band to fully adapt to the prep from the gingival margin to the marginal ridge and helps it maintain its shape even in large preparations, helping you to consistently achieve anatomically shaped restorations.
When your restorations have ideal contacts and anatomical curvature, you will see a reduction in the time spent shaping and finishing. The Halo system does that with every restoration.
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.
