Ivory 8N Matrix Retainer

Ivory 8N Matrix Retainer

The Ivory #8N Matrix Retainer by G14 Surgical is a specialized, premium dental restorative instrument meticulously engineered for the secure stabilization and tensioning of matrix bands in tight posterior segments. The “N” designation signifies its narrow, low-profile configuration, making it a highly precise variation of the standard Ivory #8. This mechanical retainer wraps completely around the tooth crown, allowing for efficient multi-surface restorations (such as complex Class II and MOD preparations) while taking up significantly less interproximal and intraoral space. Forged from high-grade surgical stainless steel, its dual-screw adjustment mechanism independently locks the band ends into position and fine-tunes the circumferential tension, providing clinicians with optimal visibility, enhanced structural control, and reliable anatomical contouring.

Key Features

• Premium-quality surgical stainless steel construction

• Ivory #8N (Narrow) Design: Streamlined, lower-profile geometry optimized for narrow interproximal sites and tight oral cavities

• Full-circumference (360-degree) retention system ideal for multi-surface Class II and MOD restorations

• Dual-screw mechanism provides separate, highly controlled adjustments for band clamping and tension tightening

• Precision-machined locking vise prevents band slippage under high clinical stress

• Low-glare satin finish ensures high visual clarity under bright dental operatory lights

• High resistance to structural deformation, corrosion, and chemical wear

• Reusable and fully autoclavable

Applications

• Retaining and tensioning matrix bands during complex Class II and MOD restorations (amalgam, composite, or glass ionomer)

• Restorations in tight posterior quadrants or specialized cases involving narrow tooth structures where standard retainers are too bulky

• Re-establishing precise, anatomically correct proximal contours and tight interproximal contacts
