Fast and simple restorations thanks to the ergonomic tensioning instrument
Maximat Plus by Polydentia SA eliminates the need for a conventional matrix retainer. This universal tensioning system for plastic and metal matrices in the posterior region is fast and easy to use: after the matrix spool is placed on the tooth, tightening of the matrix can be performed with just one hand and precisely monitored by the dentist. Once the matrix is wound to the desired tension, simply remove the instrument.
As only the matrix spool remains in the mouth during treatment, Maximat Plus allows a better overview during the filling phase, contributing also to the patient's and the dentist's comfort. Furthermore, the small matrix spool does not interfere with wedging.

Maximat Plus avoids the excessive leverage associated with conventional matrix retainers, so the matrix is not distorted approximally and a perfect contact point can be achieved. With the Maximat Plus several fillings can be placed simultaneously in the same quadrant. Once treatment is completed, the matrix is simply removed by reinserting the tensioning instrument. All standard posterior teeth matrices up to a maximum width of 7 mm can be used with the Maximat Plus. To ensure the highest standards of hygiene, the matrix spool has been designed for single use only. The tensioning instrument, on the other hand, is made of stainless steel and high-quality amorphous plastic, and can be sterilized in an autoclave (resistant to temperatures of over 134°C – 273°F).
For even greater rapidity and convenience, the spools can also be supplied with pre-loaded contoured metal matrices (thickness: 0.04 mm/.0015” and NEW microthin 0.025 /.001").
In 2005 Maximat Plus was rated as very good by the prominent American review THE DENTAL ADVISOR.
