AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing dental restoration tools, such as dental wedges and matrix bands, are not adequately designed to facilitate effective repairs of both anterior and posterior teeth, due to differences in tooth shape, size, and contour. Current tools often interfere with the dentist's field of work and require frequent repositioning, leading to inefficiencies and potential adverse effects like excess resin material and gingivitis.

Method used

The development of improved dental wedges and matrix bands specifically designed for use in anterior and posterior teeth restoration procedures. These tools feature unique shapes and configurations, including arms, ribs, and matrix bands with specific curvatures, to securely engage and support the teeth, reduce excess resin material, and facilitate efficient restoration processes.

Benefits of technology

The improved dental wedges and matrix bands effectively seal cavities, reduce finishing time, prevent adverse effects like excess resin and gingivitis, and facilitate the creation of desired contact points between teeth, thereby enhancing the success and efficiency of dental restoration procedures for both anterior and posterior teeth.
