"The 3D rings do a beautiful job of preventing flash by pressing the sectional matrix band against the tooth to be restored. With the prior ring generation, there were some teeth whose anatomical shape resulted in pop-off. With the addition of the new 3DXR ring, that almost never happens. It has become my go-to ring, especially for more challenging situations."

"If you haven't tried WedgeWands yet it's not just about the handle, the wedge itself is very well thought out. Great contours, flexible, very easy on the papilla and the perfect compliment to any sectional matrix system, especially Composi-Tight. I encourage you to try them."

3D rings are the real topic of Garrison’s systems. The “v” shape of a ring that fi ts in the interproximal area allows a good fi t between the cavity margins and the matrix in the buccal and palatal walls.
A technique has been described utilizing a sectional matrix system and associated armamentarium (Composi-Tight Gold, WedgeWands: Garrison Dental Solutions), DryerPliers, and a nanofilled microhybrid composite (Premise: Kerr Corporation) to create an anatomically precise Class II posterior composi
"The 3D Soft Face ring anatomically fills the facial and lingual embrasure spaces creating a more accurate fit of the sectional matrix to the cavosurface margin of the proximal box. The result...a perfect anatomically shaped proximal composite surface and marginal ridge with little to no contouring and finishing required."
