Small size is indicated for tighter interproximal contact areas, smaller posterior teeth, premolar restorations, and contact configurations where the Medium or Large wedge dimensions would apply excess interproximal pressure beyond what the contact geometry can accommodate without tissue trauma or matrix deformation at the gingival embrasure floor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRestorative dentists and dental assistants who rely on wooden anatomical wedges for matrix stabilization across Class II direct restorative procedures find Wizard Wedges Small Natural the precisely engineered, multi-plane contour wedge that maintains consistent matrix-to-tooth contact at the cervical margin through the full composite or amalgam placement and condensation sequence.\n?\nEach pack contains 400 individual Small Natural Wizard Wedges, providing a substantial supply of the most commonly used wedge size for active restorative operatory use across a full appointment schedule. Natural birch wood construction delivers the appropriate combination of compressibility and firmness for the interproximal wedging function, where the wood fiber compresses slightly under the inter-tooth pressure of placement to conform to the embrasure geometry while maintaining sufficient structural rigidity to hold the matrix band in position against the cervical margin throughout the restorative sequence. Natural color allows the clinician to distinguish Wizard Wedges from color-coded plastic wedge alternatives during tray setup and instrument selection, and this pack directly replaces the discontinued WaterPik 061306-000 anatomical matrix wedge product that many practices previously used as their standard small wedge format.\n?\nDockum Wizard Wedges work through the exclusive multi-plane contour geometry that defines the Wizard Wedge design, where the wedge body is shaped in three planes to match the natural curvature of the interproximal space from the occlusal contact point to the gingival embrasure floor, engaging the proximal surfaces of both adjacent teeth simultaneously across the full width of the contact area rather than at a single central point like conventional triangular wedges.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis multi-plane engagement creates a broader, more stable contact footprint at the interproximal space that resists lateral displacement during matrix band placement, composite condensation, and burnishing steps where instrument force against the matrix band can dislodge a less stable wedge and allow the matrix to separate from the cervical margin. The anatomical shape of the Small wedge follows the geometry of the smaller interproximal spaces where this size is indicated, ensuring that the wedge fills the embrasure space adequately to support the matrix without creating a gap at the floor of the embrasure that would allow composite flash beneath the matrix during placement.\n?\nRestorative dentists performing Class II composite restorations on premolars and tighter molar contacts find the Small Wizard Wedge's multi-plane contour provides the matrix stability at smaller contact dimensions that conventional triangular wedges cannot achieve at narrow interproximal spaces where wedge rotation and displacement are more likely. Dental assistants setting up restorative trays find the 400-count pack format maintains a consistent supply of the small size for daily restorative use without frequent reordering interruptions during active appointment schedules.\n?\nDockum Wizard Wedges Anatomical Matrix Wedges, Birch Wood, Small, Natural give dental practices the original multi-plane contour birch wood anatomical wedge in the Small size suited for tighter interproximal contacts and premolar restorations, trusted by dental professionals for over seven decades as the standard for matrix stabilization and precision interproximal wedging in Class II direct restorations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor dental offices ordering matrix wedge supplies for active restorative use, the 400-count Small Natural pack delivers the multi-plane engagement, matrix stability, and anatomical fit that consistent Class II restorative outcomes require.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dockum Research Lab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47373538951346,"sku":"DOC-WW-AM-S-400-NAT","price":59.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/7747\/2690\/files\/256634_main.webp?v=1777661258","url":"https:\/\/beyond.frontierdental.com\/products\/wizard-wedges-anatomical-matrix-small-400-replaces-waterpik-061306-000","provider":"Beyond","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
