The culprit? Sports drinks and energy bars. Thus, —fluoride varnish and dental sealants—once considered preventive treatments for kids, have become just as important for many adults, and the impetus for these extra measures of care lies with the dental hygienist.

The reason I recommend the Triodent V3 Sectional Matrix System the very most is because it is so simple and quick. With the unique reverse s-curve cross-sectional shape to the matrix band, it provides the appropriate contour as it approaches the contact area. The band helps facilitate not only the correct anatomical shapes relative to anterior and posterior aspects but also buccal to lingual just above the contact point. In the formation of the marginal ridge, it helps to shape the proximal aspect of that marginal ridge.

However, Dr. Yoshikane found that again and again, in many different situations, the tofflemire system just wasn’t cutting it. The best he could do, he says, was “hope our contacts are good,” and “wedge it harder to spread the contact.” But unfortunately, too many times his contacts “were too flat and always open.” [Read More](https://blog.ultradent.com/my-triodent-story-dr-patrick-yoshikane?hsLang=en) [...Read More](https://blog.ultradent.com/my-triodent-story-dr-patrick-yoshikane?hsLang=en) [![](https://blog.ultradent.com/hubfs/Sharepoint%20Blog%20Photos%20and%20Images/Photos/2017/08-August/2_My-Triodent-Story-Dr-Nick-Devani/hero_1.jpg)](https://blog.ultradent.com/my-triodent-story-dr-nick-devani?hsLang=en) ## [How Switching from Tofflemire to The Triodent Matrix System Saved Me Time, Money, and Patients](https://blog.ultradent.com/my-triodent-story-dr-nick-devani?hsLang=en) [Ultradent Products Inc.](https://blog.ultradent.com/author/ultradent-products-inc) | August 16, 2017 “I’ve been practicing dentistry for 22–23 years now,” says Dr. Nick Devani of Premier Smiles Dentistry in Cypress, California. “Class II restorations, in general, are the toughest thing that dentists have to deal with. They’re the hardest thing, in my opinion, because getting that contact just perfect is really a pain in the neck sometimes.” He continues, “When I first graduated, there were no sectional matrix systems. It was only tofflemire. That’s all we had. The biggest problem with using a tofflemire—and I used one for about 15 to 16 years, is that getting a nice, broad contact was always really tough. You’d get a pin contact, and a lot of times, that wasn’t enough. Patients would then complain about getting food impacted, about how their floss would go right through, and a lot of times we had to re-do those restorations to try and get a broader contact. So, over time, using tofflemire became very inefficient. According to industry averages, redoing a Class II restoration can cost $345 dollars in time and materials (data on file), not to mention the cost of a lost patient.

When I was a young boy, I often thought about hydraulic engineering, because that was the cutting edge of engineering at the time. I’m still fascinated by hydraulics. There are so many wonderful developments that have occurred just in my lifetime in that realm—through World War II and the hydraulics used in the war efforts, to hydraulics used in excavating. We even use hydraulics to a lesser degree at Ultradent, which brought about the trademark syringe delivery method that Ultradent has become known for.

Irradiance vs power, beam size, even the tools used to measure light outputs all play major roles in how a curing light will function. To find true quality and efficiency in a light, a user must be able to wade through the waves of false and misleading claims often made in the world of dental curing light advertising—Ultradent’s Sr. VP of Research & Development, Neil Jessop, delves into these topics and more in this edition of Dentistry Decoded: Insights from R&D.

While there is no doubt irradiance adds value, it does not tell the full story of how well a light will cure various materials. Irradiance tests typically only show the irradiance of a very small portion of the light. Measuring the power distributed over the entire beam tells a more comprehensive story of its curing capabilities.
