Lug Matrices

Lug Matrices

If you're looking for a reliable tool to isolate the approximate surfaces of adjacent teeth in type II restorations, Lug Matrices are an excellent choice.

With an extensive range of sizes available, these stainless steel matrices will provide complete engagement and allow the tightening of the matrix to the adjacent tooth in any of the three directions. Moreover, they are anatomically preformed with an adjustable contact point and even include a special feature: holes to improve grip during the insertion or removal of the matrix.

There are a variety of types of Lug Matrices, each suited for the specific needs of your restoration. They are all available in packs of 12 pieces, and are noted as follows:

Standard Lug Matrices

  • Available in the following sizes: small, medium, large.
  • 0,035 mm thin.
  • Provide more enhanced coverage of the buccal and lingual areas compared to regular Tor VM sectional matrices
  • Include a convenient feature in the form of holes at three different locations on the band. This facilitates the placement and removal of matrices (especially when used alongside the Tor VM Linear Pliers).
Lug Matrices with Ledge
  • Available in the following sizes: small, medium, large, super large.
  • 0,035 mm thin.
Titanium Matrices
  • Available in the following sizes: small, medium, large.
  • Have a higher lasting quality
  • Assume greater convenience due to a lower glare effect.

If you’re looking for something more comprehensive with various options, there is also a Set of Lug Matrices (+MD Ring) available. There are two attainable options, each equipped with a slightly different ensemble, but both perfectly capable of aiding in a successful restoration.

- 30-piece set, including:

  • 4 pieces each of the small, large, and super large Lug Matrices with Ledge.
  • 5 pieces of the medium Lug Matrices with Ledge.
  • 4 pieces each of the medium and large Standard Lug Matrices.
  • 5 pieces of the small standard Lug Matrices.
  • 1 MD ring.
- 18-piece set, including:
  • 6 pieces each of the small, medium, and large Lug Matrices with Ledge.
  • 1 MD ring.

Hence, when choosing between the best type of Lug Matrices, you are presented with options that include a commitment to a specific kind of matrix or the possibility to explore multiple at once. Which you follow through with, is entirely dependent on your restoration goals as each type is tailored to some needs more than others.
