Garrison Composi-Tight Gold Molar Matrix Bands, 6.4mm is used for forming a controlled proximal wall during posterior Class II composite restorations. The 6.4mm molar profile is designed for the majority of standard molar preparations and provides sufficient occlusogingival coverage without the cervical apron used on extension-style bands, and the three-dimensional contour follows the gingival and occlusal curvature needed to support natural proximal anatomy.
Each pack contains 100 single-use bands, measuring 6.4mm in height, 2.02mm across the profile view, and 16.51mm in overall length, with a thickness of 0.0015 inch.
Garrison identifies the Gold series as 16% longer than the original B-series bands, extending farther around the buccal and lingual surfaces to give wider coverage in broader preparations. Practices ordering matrix bands from a dental supplier often stock this standard molar height separately from bicuspid and extended-margin molar options to match the preparation on hand.
The band works by creating a temporary wall around the proximal preparation while a compatible wedge and separation ring stabilize the restorative field. The preformed curvature supports adaptation near the gingival margin and positions the band's greatest convexity near the tooth's natural height of contour, while the thin 0.0015-inch profile limits the space occupied between adjacent teeth.
The longer Gold-series profile wraps farther around wider preparations, giving the clinician additional band coverage on the buccal and lingual surfaces without changing the basic sectional matrix technique or established placement sequence.
