I’m having difficulty getting ideal interproximal contours in my composite restorations that have wide bucco-lingual interproximal preparations. Are there any new sectional matrix systems that are getting good reviews?

Yes, the V-Ring Sectional Matrix System (TrioDent Ltd.) is a new product that got excellent reviews (a 5+ rating) by Clinical Consultants of THE DENTAL ADVISOR. V-Ring is designed with a stainless steel inner ring and a nickel-titanium outer spring with V-shaped tines. This product comes with three different types of wedges and three widths of matrix bands for universal use. The consultants found the V-Ring Sectional Matrix System provided excellent adaptation to the buccal and lingual aspects of the preparation, tight proximal contacts and natural anatomical contours.
