Inventory ID: 904-3388AA

Dentsply Palodent Plus small wedge refill dark blue are precision wedges designed to support restorative matrix placement and tooth separation when using the Palodent Plus sectional matrix system. Their small size and flexible plastic construction secure matrix band adaptation and promote tight interproximal contacts during posterior Class II restorations. This Complete Buyer's Guide clarifies selection and maintains consistent restorative workflows.

What makes this product stand out?

Palodent Plus small wedge refills are engineered as adaptive self-guiding wedges that compress easily upon entry and expand gently to create a secure seal between teeth and matrix bands. Their small, dark blue profile suits tight embrasures and narrower interdental spaces, maintaining proper band position while reducing excess restorative material.

Key advantages include:

• A small wedge shape with self-guiding design delivers precise adaptation in tight interproximal areas
• Flexible plastic construction secures matrix band placement with gentle expansion
• Dark blue color coding aids quick identification in restorative setups
• Wedge compression and flaring enhance the gingival seal and matrix stability
• 100/Pack count delivers efficient stocking for busy operatories

What is this product made of?

Palodent Plus small wedges feature durable, flexible plastic designed for gentle expansion and secure seating between teeth during restorative procedures. This material enables the wedge to adapt to varying embrasure sizes without cracking or deforming, delivering a reliable seal that improves contact formation.

At-a-glance comparison:

• Plastic wedges vs. wooden wedges: plastic offers consistent flexibility and durability without splinter risk
• Small wedges vs. medium/large wedges: small wedges suit tighter embrasures; larger sizes offer more pronounced separation

This material choice and size streamline matrix placement and enhance restoration quality with consistent, predictable wedge performance.

What is it used for?
