Contoured Sectional Metal Matrix (50) - Latus
Latus matrices with a thickness of 50 are the thickest and stiffest in the series of sectional matrices. They are designed for working with massive, large Class II cavities and situations where maximum restoration of the anatomical shape and the creation of an extremely tight contact point are required.
Technological Features
-
Thickness (50): This is the highest thickness among sectional matrices.
-
Advantage: Extreme stiffness and inflexibility. This matrix provides maximum resistance under the pressure of the separating ring and wedges. This allows for achieving the greatest tooth separation (spreading) to compensate for the matrix thickness and form a very strong and tight contact.
-
-
Strength: Resistance to deformation and tearing during amalgam condensation or when working with high-filled composites.
-
Sectional and Contoured Shape: Retains the shape of an individual "petal" with an anatomically correct contour, which helps reproduce the natural contour of the tooth.
-
"Without Ledge": Standard profile without additional elements.
-
Material (Metal): Provides the necessary strength.
Purpose and Advantages
-
Massive Restorations: Ideal for restoring large destructions of posterior teeth where the volume of lost tissue is significant and high material support is needed.
-
Maximum Separation: Provides the largest space for placing the restorative material and, consequently, forming the tightest contact after matrix removal and the natural return of the teeth to their original position.
-
Working with Amalgam: Due to its high rigidity, the 50 matrix is the classic choice for amalgam condensation, as it effectively resists the significant pressure applied.
-
Composite Resistance: Highly suitable for working with high-viscosity (bulk-fill) composites, ensuring their effective adaptation to the cavity margins.
Latus 50 matrices are used for the most demanding clinical cases where maximum mechanical stability and separation force are required to achieve an ideal contact point.
