The FenderMate flexible wing separates the teeth, pressing the matrix toward the cervical margin, avoiding overhang. Its optimal curvature and preshaped contact accommodate the most conservative Class II preparation; no ring is needed. In traditional methods of Class II preparation, the emphasis has been to break contact and extend the walls in order to accommodate the matrix band. With the facility to insert FenderMate lingually and/or buccally, the dentist can maintain a smaller, more conservative preparation.
