Dental Wedge Set

A dental wedge set is a collection of small, triangular-shaped devices used in dentistry to create separation and stabilization during various dental procedures. These wedges are typically made of materials such as wood or plastic and are designed to fit between the teeth to provide support and prevent the collapse of the dental dam or matrix band.

Dental wedges are commonly used in restorative dentistry, particularly during procedures such as composite fillings, crown preparations, and dental bonding. They help to create space between adjacent teeth, allowing for better access and visibility for the dentist or dental hygienist.

The wedges are available in different sizes and shapes to accommodate various tooth sizes and anatomical variations. They are typically inserted into the interproximal space (the area between two adjacent teeth) and gently pushed to provide separation and stability.

Overall, dental wedge sets are essential tools in dental practices as they aid in achieving optimal results during restorative procedures by ensuring proper isolation and access to the treatment area.
