The easy-to-use
Halo sectional matrix systemallows you to create beautiful,
anatomically contoured
composite restorationsin less time.

Beautiful Resultsin Less TimeMaximum tooth separation is achieved through the force of the nitinol ring andactive wedging provided by the wedges. This ideal system of separation allows
you to restore a single tooth or back-to-back restorations with ease.
The unique beak design of the Halo ring allows the band to fully adapt to theprep from the gingival margin to the marginal ridge and maintain its shape evenin large preparations, helping you achieve anatomically shaped restorations.
When you have ideal contacts and well-adapted bands with anatomical
curvature, you will see a reduction in the time spent shaping and finishing.
The Halo system does exactly that with every restoration.

The Halo sectional matrix system includes nitinol rings, stainless steel matrix bands in
Original and Firm, and easy-to-place wedges. Each of the components are designed towork together to create consistent, anatomically shaped restorations.

procedures and reduces cyclic fatigue•

Anatomically shaped for ideal contacts••

Rings will last over 1,000 uses

Curve at marginal ridge creates ideal occlusal
embrasure, reducing finishing

Stay organized with unique, easy-to-use carousel

Firm wedge creates active wedging for enhanced

Glass-filled nylon tines won’t easily break, andwon’t collapse into the prep and create 		under-contoured restorations•Tweezer holes for easy placement

Hollow design makes wedges easy to place and allows
wedges to be stacked when multiple wedges are needed

No more spilling and scattering of bands and wedges
after an accidental drop, saving time and frustration••

Easy to distinguish colors help identify sizes of wedges•

Can be easily disinfected with a surface disinfectant

Ring contours secure the band in a natural andanatomical shape, helping to eliminate flash andreducing the amount of finishing needed1

Bendable tab allows for easy placement and removalwith increased visibility•

Collapsible center for anatomical adaptation of the band•

Original bands allow for more adaptability andburnishing, while Firm bands resist deformation andare ideal for tight interproximal spaces••

Stackable design allows for use with MODs and other
Class II restorations•

Provides ideal separation for back-to-back restorations

Sectional matrix systems are the solution
to restorations using modern dental materials.

Tofflemire bands worked well with amalgam, a stiff and packable material, but weren’t
designed for today’s composite materials. The tofflemire bands do not have the anatomical
contours required for good contacts, and often create food traps and open contacts. Withouta well contoured band, the clinician is often left with excess composite material that must be
removed with a bur, significantly increasing the time spent shaping the restoration.

Pre-opPreparation with Halo system

There is a better way. The Halo sectional matrix system was developed for use with today’scomposites; the bands have the appropriate hardness to ensure anatomical contours whileallowing for some burnishability. The use of a contoured matrix, like the Halo matrix, results ina stronger marginal ridge for Class II composite resin restorations compared to restorations
completed with straight matrices.2 With the Halo system you can expect consistently tightcontacts, anatomical contours and all with less time spent finishing and shaping.1Pre-radiographPost-radiographPost-opDO Clinical Case

Step-by-Step Guide
Refer to the IFU for complete instructions.

1.
Select an appropriate matrix band based on required occlusogingival
height. Using tweezers, grip the matrix band tab and bend asneeded, then place interproximally with the concave surface facing
the tooth to be restored.

5.
Carefully place Halo ring using the ring forceps.

2.
Select wedge that best adapts matrix band to the gingival portion of
the preparation. Grip wedge with cotton pliers.

6.
The ring should be placed as low as possible with the tine ends of thering straddling the wedge on each side of the tooth.

3.
Light finger pressure may need to be applied to the matrix band toprevent it from being dislodged during wedge placement.

7.
Inspect matrix band, wedge, and ring placement to ensure that thematrix band is well adapted to the cavosurface margins and that it isin intimate contact with the adjacent tooth.

4.
If needed, an additional wedge may be used to provide greater
adaptation to gingival cavosurface.
