The specially developed split wedge technology delivers a better gingival seal, which helps in routine and deep-lesion cases. The wedge not only provides an interproximal seal, but the “wings” also carry that seal around to the lingual side of the tooth. This perfect seal dramatically reduces the time needed to finish the restoration and remove flash from this hard-to-reach area.
“Since the advent of composite restorations, dentists have been struggling to seal the gingival margin and achieve proper contact, as well as a natural contour, without an excessive amount of time spent finishing the restoration,” said VursaWedge inventor Dr. Matthew Burton, DDS, of Burton Dental Innovations, LLC. “VursaWedge is the culmination of several years spent analyzing and solving the inherent physical limitations of current wedges on the market.”
Even more exciting is that the VursaWedge easily lends itself for use with a clinician’s traditional system and technique. “The learning curve on this product is zero, it’s incredibly intuitive to use. Achieving perfect gingival margins is as simple as swapping VursaWedge for their traditional wedge,” explains Dr. Burton. Furthermore, the wings of the VursaWedge help lock in the ring, greatly reducing ring slippage. This product helps save time on the set up as well as the clean up!
Plak Smacker has partnered with Dr. Burton to provide a CE course about the impacts of wedges and how to achieve perfect gingival margins. The virtual CE course will take place on Thursday, August 20th and is free to attend.
