Directa Dental Fenderwedge Guards (36pcs/box) by Directa Dental

Protects tooth and gingiva during preparations

Bur damage to adjacent teeth is a common problem in everyday dental practice. Research shows that 70% of adjacent teeth suffer damage during class II preparations.*

FenderWedge prevents damage to the adjacent tooth and gingiva that commonly occurs during Class II preparations. FenderWedge is a combination of a steel plate and a plastic wedge.

It facilitates easy application of a matrix. To avoid aspiration it is recommended to secure FenderWedge with a waxed dental floss. Available in four sizes, x-small, small, medium and large in refill-, value pack or assortment.

How to use FenderWedge

Insert FenderWedge buccally or lingually for optimal access and vision.

The four colours indicate the thickness of the wedge. Always choose the one giving the highest resistance when placed, to assure optimal separation and to stay in place during the treatment.

You can work fast and safe. If you touch anything it will not be the adjacent tooth.

The plastic wedge might be damaged during the preparation but the procedure may be continued as the protective plate inside the wedge reaches down to the gingival margin.
