Clinical Tips: FenderMate Prime
protection and matrix for primary teeth

FenderMate Prime is an interproximal plastic wedge with an inbuilt steel plate. The “boat-shaped” tip allows the gingiva to be compressed without damage and reduces the risk for bleeding. FenderPrime Green (long) can be shaped to the contour of the tooth. A unique combination of a preparation shield and matrix for Class II fillings of primary teeth where quick and simple solutions are highly valued.

 


Why should I use FenderMate Prime?

FenderMate Prime is the ideal matrix for Class II restorations in primary teeth. A unique combination of a preparation shield and a sectional matrix, FenderMate Prime enables fast, simple and safe restoration of primary teeth.

 


FenderMate Prime is available in two sizes: long and short.

FenderMate Prime green (the long wedge) can be bent before filling to adapt the contour of the tooth. FenderMate Prime yellow has a shorter, more rigid plate for very tight interproximal spaces.

How should I use FenderMate Prime?

FenderMate Prime is a unique combination of a preparation shield and matrix for Class II fillings of primary teeth. FenderMate Prime is a plastic wedge with a steel plate, which is inserted into the proximal space before preparation. The “boat-shape” of the tip allows the papilla to be condensed without damage and reduces the risk of bleeding. Once preparation is completed, FenderMate Prime remains in place to serve as a matrix.

Protection: Insert FenderMate Prime lingually or buccally. Do the preparation while the adjacent tooth and the gingival are protected. 

Matrix: Curve FenderMate Prime around the tooth and create a matrix for an acceptable anatomical shape for a temporary filling. Fill the cavity with any temporary materials. A high quality filling of a primary tooth, completed fast and safely.

NB: FenderMate Prime is available in two sizes, long and short. FenderMate Prime green (the long wedge) is bendable. FenderMate Prime yellow has a shorter, more rigid plate for tight interproximal spaces. The short FenderMate Prime Yellow is not bendable.

* Safety tip: FenderMate Prime can be secured with a waxed floss.

 


Technique


- Insert FenderMate Prime lingually or buccally.
