The two main 3D Fusion™ separator rings, short (blue) and tall (orange), are the heart of the Composi-Tight® 3D Fusion System. These are your ‘go-to’ rings and will be used for the majority of restorations.
The world’s first Wide Preparation separator ring (green) makes Composi-Tight 3D Fusion the most versatile and user-friendly sectional matrix system available. The Wide Prep ring greatly simplifies what until now has been one of the most challenging posterior composite restorations. Now you can restore these big preps with confidence knowing that you will achieve excellent contact and contour without having to take extra steps. Other features and benefits include:
- Incorporates Ultra-Grip retention extensions anchoring them to any tooth
- Tru-Stack allows the orange ring to be placed over the blue ring
- Soft-Face silicone tips contour more closely to the teeth for flash-free restorations
- Enhances durability for extended ring life and greater tooth separation
