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

The Palodent System<br />
SEPARATION<br />
MATRIX PLACEMENT<br />
STABILIZATION<br />
DENTSPLY <strong>Caulk</strong> is pleased to continue the<br />
legacy of quality and performance started by<br />
Dr. Alvin Meyer, the inventor of the Palodent<br />
System.<br />

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