Triodent’s nickel-titanium V3 Ring uses optimal separation force to achieve consistently tight contacts in Class II composite restorations. It is the key component to the V3 Sectional Matrix System. The V-shaped tines straddle the wedge and the tines’ broad shape prevents the ring from collapsing into large cavities. The tines form a tight seal on the matrix at the cavity margins, so there is minimal finishing.
