Answer: Yes. The kit contains 15 different size loops and an assortment of wedges. The wedges that are included in the kit are made of lindenwood - they absorb saliva and swell to provide a snug fit. you can use any wedge on the market with the matrix. Question: Can't I just order certain sizes instead of ordering the whole kit. Answer: You can, but you will always run the risk of not having the correct size. You will find that sizes 3 & 4 and 7 & 8 are the most popular sizes for pedo use. Question: Are there any instruments, retainers or rings that are required to use your system? Answer: No. No other instruments or apparatus are required. Question: Is there nickel in the stainless steel used in your bands? Answer: Yes. The nickel content is approximately 9.6% in the stainless steel we use. Question: Can I use your preformed matrix on a patient with nickel allergies? Answer: Since the band is in place for only a short amount of time, and contact with soft tissue is very minimal, only patients with a history of severe nickel reactions should refrain from using the matrix bands. Alternative to the stainless matrix include the clear mylar bands (make sure you have plenty of patience if you are going to use these). Question: Can I re-use the bands? Answer: The bands can be sterilized. We recommend you do this to bands that are rejected during trial fitting. bands that are used for your restoration should be discarded. Question: What is the difference between the pedo and adult kits? Do I need both? Answer: The adult bands are 1/16" taller than the pedo bands. Depending on the demographics of your patients, you may be able to get by with one kit.   Question: What is the difference between your preformed matrix and the 'T' bands.   Answer: 'T' bands utilize a retainer system and typically use brass bands with wedges. The DENOVO Preformed Matrix does not use a retainer or a ring to hold them in place, offering a better field of view and increased patient comfort.
