Thermoplastic; soften in hot water; air-harden in seconds In and out of mouth in 30 seconds; no impression materials For provisional C&B, bite registration, and anti-bruxism Flexible when removed; rigid enough to drive deep margins Works with MatrixTemp and any acrylic material Quantity: 72 per Pack Advantage Dental Products Temporary Crown Matrix Buttons are used for creating fast, accurate thermoplastic matrices for provisional crown and bridge restorations, bite registrations, anti-bruxism appliances, implant shims, and border molding trays during dental restorative procedures where the matrix button's thermoplastic material softened in hot water, formed directly around the tooth or teeth to be prepared, and air-hardened at chairside provides a custom-adapted matrix in approximately 30 seconds without requiring traditional impression materials, impression trays, or the associated gagging, odor, and taste issues that patients commonly experience during conventional alginate or PVS impression-taking for provisional matrix fabrication. The thermoplastic button is placed in a cup of hot water to soften, then adapted directly over the crown preparation or pre-preparation tooth surface to capture the precise tooth anatomy, and then hardened by blowing air across the surface to create a dimensionally stable custom matrix that captures the exact occlusal and proximal anatomy of the tooth before preparation, providing the accurate matrix needed for fabricating well-fitting provisional restorations with correct occlusal anatomy.The completed matrix can be stored and reused to fabricate a replacement provisional if the original provisional is lost or fractured before the final restoration is delivered, providing a clinical backup without requiring a second impression of the prepared tooth. Restorative dentists, prosthodontists, and dental assistants who fabricate provisional crown and bridge restorations as part of routine restorative and prosthetic procedures find Advantage Dental Products Temporary Crown Matrix Buttons the thermoplastic hot-water-softened 72-count per-pack chairside provisional matrix for their active daily provisional fabrication program. ? Each pack contains 72 individual Advantage Dental Products Temporary Crown Matrix Buttons, providing a per-pack button supply for active daily provisional matrix fabrication across a full restorative appointment schedule. The 72-count pack provides a practical per-pack button supply for a busy restorative practice fabricating provisional restorations at multiple crown and bridge preparation appointments daily, with one or more buttons used per preparation depending on the span of the provisional restoration and the size of the matrix required for single-unit versus multi-unit provisional coverage.The buttons work with MatrixTemp provisional acrylic and with any conventional bis-acryl, PMMA, or composite provisional material that requires a matrix for anatomical provisional fabrication at the preparation appointment. ? Advantage Dental Products Temporary Crown Matrix Buttons work through their thermoplastic material construction where the button's polymer composition becomes pliable and formable when immersed in hot water, allowing the clinician or assistant to adapt the softened button precisely over the tooth surface by hand before preparation, capturing the natural tooth anatomy in the thermoplastic matrix while the material is in its softened state. Air blown across the adapted matrix surface removes the moisture and cools the thermoplastic material rapidly, returning it to its hardened state and locking the captured tooth anatomy into the set matrix. The hardened matrix is dimensionally stable, flexible enough to be removed from the mouth without distortion over the undercuts of the prepared and adjacent teeth, and rigid enough to contain the provisional material and drive it into the deep margins of the preparation during provisional fabrication at the preparation appointment. ? Restorative dentists who prepare single crowns and multi-unit bridges as part of a busy restorative schedule find the matrix button fabrication method eliminates the time, cost, and patient discomfort associated with alginate or PVS pre-preparation impressions for provisional matrix fabrication, providing the accurate provisional matrix in approximately 30 seconds without impression material mixing, tray selection, or the intraoral hold time of conventional impression techniques.Dental assistants who fabricate provisional restorations at the assistant's seat during operative procedures find the matrix button workflow faster and more predictable than working from a conventional impression. ? Advantage Dental Products Temporary Crown Matrix Buttons give dental practices a fast, accurate, patient-friendly thermoplastic provisional matrix system for single and multi-unit provisional crown and bridge fabrication, bite registration, anti-bruxism appliance fabrication, and implant shim construction, with the matrix forming in hot water and hardening by air blast in approximately 30 seconds without impression materials or trays, in a 72-button pack.
