To further stabilize the matrix, the BiTine
Ring is placed with the tines in the proximal
plane, engaging either the matrix or wedge.
This stabilizes the matrix against the tooth
structure.
Lightly burnish the matrix against the adjacent
tooth, both buccally and lingually to further adapt
it to form proper contours. (NOTE: Over
burnishing may distort the matrix and
compromise the built-in contours in the matrix.)
Two BiTine Rings may be used for MOD
preparations; nested over the other (as shown in
the picture) or diverging like wings.
One BiTine Ring may be used to separate two
Class II, side-by-side preparations.

The Palodent System is the original, most trusted
and highest rated contoured sectional matrix
system available.
The Original Round BiTine ® Ring and the
BiTine II Oval Ring both provide the gentle
separation needed to create ideal contacts. The
ring is placed BEFORE preparation.
The shape of each Palodent Matrix creates
natural contours and profiles and can be used
with any restorative material, including composites,
amalgams, wax patterns and temporaries.
The spring action of the BiTine Round Ring and
the BiTine II Oval Ring creates gentle separation
needed to insert a contoured matrix without
distortion. This gentle, orthodontic separation
eliminates the need for forced wedging that can
create patient sensitivity and soft tissue trauma.
With the rubber dam in place, and BEFORE
preparation, a BiTine Ring is placed by spreading
the ring with rubber dam forceps. The tines are
placed with one tine in each interproximal space
buccal to lingual, and adjacent to the surface to
be restored. The ring loop can be placed in either
direction, however, the ring makes a convenient
finger rest if placed mesially.
Once the tooth is prepared with the BiTine Ring
in place, gentle separation is accomplished.
Remove the BiTine Ring. Finger roll the matrix
to the approximate tooth circumference.
Place the matrix and adjust the contact position.
The Standard and Mini Palodent Matrices have a
dot or a notch that should be placed occlusially.
The Palodent Plus Matrix should be placed with
the longer flap apically.
Close the gingival margin by placing an
anatomical wedge. The wedge is used to only
seal the matrix interface with the tooth, not to
force separation.
