In StockIn StockOut of stockPaladex is a premium, autoclavable silicone matrix kit designed to help dentists reliably sculpt the palatal and incisal surfaces of anterior maxillary (canine-to-canine) composite restorations. With its anatomically ideal shape, Paladex ensures predictable, high-quality outcomes across a range of restorative cases.
Complete kit (autoclavable): Includes maxillary anterior templates in two sizes (small/orange, large/blue) plus a metal delivery tool
Flexible silicone matrix: Soft, translucent material that adapts snugly to tooth surfaces
Light-transmitting: Permits curing light to pass through the matrix, ensuring full polymerization
No sticking, easy removal: The matrix doesn’t bond to cured composite, so it can be removed cleanly
Eliminates oxygen inhibition layer: Leaves a fully cured, glossy, anatomical palatal surface with minimal finishing
Versatile use cases: Ideal for
• Fractures / Class IV restorations
• Peg laterals
• Diastema closure
• Palatal surfaces of temporary crowns or composite bridges
When you’re building up the palatal side of anterior composites, accuracy, ease of use, and efficient workflow matter.
Paladex delivers:
Predictable shapes: Preformed templates reflect optimal palatal anatomy
Faster workflows: Less manual sculpting means lower chair time
Superior esthetics: Eliminates the “sticky” oxygen inhibition layer, resulting in a glossy, polished surface straight out of curing
Durability: Reusable and sterilizable for repeated use in clinical settings
Select the correct size (small or large) for the patient’s anatomy
Seat the silicone matrix onto the palatal surfaces with gentle pressure
Apply composite resin, filling against the inner surface of the matrix
Cure through the silicone matrix (light passes through)
Remove the matrix — it won’t be bonded to the composite
Finish the facial side (you may pair with the Uveneer kit for buccal finishing)
