Plastic wedges in Dental are small, triangular tools used in dentistry to aid in restorative procedures like filling cavities or placing dental crowns. They are typically made of plastic and are used to:
1. Separate Teeth: Plastic wedges are inserted between teeth to create space for placing restorative materials, ensuring proper contact points between teeth.
2. Hold Matrices in Place: They help stabilize matrix bands during fillings, particularly for Class II restorations (cavities between teeth).
3. Protect the Gingiva: Plastic wedges prevent damage to the gums while working on teeth.
4. Improve Adaptation: They ensure that restorative materials adapt well to the tooth, minimizing gaps or overhangs.
Plastic wedges are preferred in some cases because they are flexible, gentle on gums, and available in various sizes to fit different teeth.
