Paladex

The palatal index prefabricated matrices are designed to assist in creating the palatal side of the natural dentition with composite resin material. They are made from a soft, translucent silicone-based material that transfers any curing light through the matrix during the curing process. The silicone material allows for adaptation to the tooth by lightly pressing it against the palatal side. Once cured, the composite will not stick to the Paladex matrix, making it easy to remove.

Paladex matrix prevents the creation of the oxygen inhibition layer (the ‘sticky layer’) during the curing process, leaving you with a hard, glossy, and anatomically correct surface composite restoration, which requires minimal adjustment or polishing.

I love the Uveneer system for two reasons: first, its simplistic and easy approach to creating beautiful direct resin veneers and second, it was created by a talented aesthetic dentist, Dr. Sigal Jacobson. Like so many great products, this innovative concept came to be by a practitioner recognizing a problem we so often encounter and creating a product to help the dentist treat the problem. The same can be said of Paladex which is a system of prefabricated clear matrices designed to assist in the creation of the palatal side of the natural teeth when applying composite resin material. The soft, clear, silicone-based material is flexible and allows for adaptation of the composite to the lingual side of the tooth with light compression while allowing for photocuring thru the matrix. Once photocured the Paladex matrix (which prevents the formation of the sticky oxygen inhibition layer) is simply removed without adhering to the composite, and you are left with a hard, glossy anatomically correct palatal surface. The kit is complete with the maxillary anterior dentition in small and large sized, from canine to canine. Paladex is also useful for creating the palatal surface of a temporary crown, diastema closure, class IV fractures, or a resin bridge. The instructions are clear and helpful in how to use this matrix system to achieve maximum results. Kudos on another fine product.

I have been using the Paladex system for four years now, and rely on this system to consistently deliver an amazing substructure base layer for composite veneer cases, class IV restorations and more. The silicone materials are durable and have withstood multiple uses each. It is a stellar product and necessary component of my composite arsenal. It is crucial for emergency visits and I love the design!!
