POLYDENTIA’S QUICKMAT DELUXE
MATRIX SYSTEM FOR PERFECT CLASS II RESTORATIONS
Overview
• Quick Rings: in stainless steel, very handy especially for reconstructions of MOD-cavities
• „Re-Force“ insert for Quick Rings: Placed upon the ring, it allows to increase the
separation force exerted on the teeth when the clinical situation asks for it
• Delta and Cylindrical Silicone Tubes: Particularly suitable in case of very extensive cavities.
Applied to both ends of the Quick Ring, they perfectly fit to the convexity of the teeth
thanks to their innovative shapes, facilitating adhesion and adaptation of the matrix
• Thin (0.04 mm) Contoured Sectional Matrices: Anatomically shaped and easy to burnish
• Microthin (0.025 mm) Contoured Sectional Matrices: In case of serrated interdental
spaces, this microthin version allows to obtain very tight contact points with an ideal
morphology
• Assorted maple wood wedges: Available in different sizes, for optimal separation of the
teeth
All components can be reordered separately, according to the own clinical necessities and
requests.

Introduction
A class II restoration is one of the most frequent clinical situation that a dentist has to face in daily
work. An easy matrix system – permitting to reach tight contact points – is desired. Especially
material overlapping has to be avoided, as it increases significantly the time for finishing and
polishing.

Quickmat Deluxe is a Sectional Matrix System that allows to create perfect, extremely precise and
anatomically correct contact points in class II restorations. The system is characterized by its userfriendliness and contains the following components:
1
The classical way consists in application of a matrix fixed with an universal matrix retainer. As we
all already noticed, the retainer’s weight can deform the matrix band, leading to no contacts or
quite abnormal interproximal filling shape. This procedure can make a MOD-filling quite difficult.
So called sectional matrix systems are a good alternative, usually consisting in a kit of matrices,
retaining rings and wedges.
Quickmat Deluxe (Polydentia) offers 2 different matrix heights to be applied according to the
clinical type of the cavity: for supragingival cavities in molars (6.4 mm) and premolars (5.0 mm).
In order to ensure isolation it is recommended to
place a rubber dam first. The appropriate
sectional matrix band is then placed between the
tooth and stabilized placing the corresponding
size of a wedge. If there is a MOD-cavity, of
course two matrices have to be placed against
both cavosurfaces.

In a second step a Quick Ring with Re-Force insert
(purple color) is brought on the top by forceps. In
case of a MOD-cavity or when more
interproximal fillings are executed in one session,
more rings can be positioned, one overlapping
the other.

The Quick Ring carries Rounded Silicone Tubes in
this clinical case. The result is a well adapted and
stable matrix placement.
Note: during wedging it is recommended to press
with a finger against the occlusal extremity of the
matrix (no dislocation)
The replacement of amalgam filling has been
executed successfully and was fully satisfying the
patient also from esthetic point of view.

Introduction
The patient is a 55-year old woman, non-smoker, in general healthy. She came to our surgery to
have old, mostly amalgam fillings replaced.

Quickmat Deluxe.
In case of approximal class II restorations Quickmat Deluxe (Polydentia) is a very reliable system,
ensuring tight and anatomical contacts. I personally appreciated particularly the presence of a
matrix with subgingival extension, even not directly included in the kit. On the top of this, the
possibility to execute several class II restorations in the same quadrant and in the same session are
an absolute added value. The system saves my patient’s time in a significant manner.
