Designed to be a simple, long lasting clinical tool, the SmartView Sectional Matrix System from CompositeSmart works like a spring, so instead of bending it twists to evenly distribute forces, which according to a press release makes the matrix easier to place.
The SmartView clip is designed to operate at the gingival margin with forces directed perpendicular and down. It also doubles as a rubber dam clamp. The SmartView sectional matrix bands feature non-stick surfaces and are anatomically contoured. The instruments are all fabricated from stainless steel and tinted blue for easy identification.

CompositeSmart, LLC Launches Its New SmartView Sectional Matrix System
Grand Haven, Mich. – CompositeSmart, LLC, a dental products company, has launched its SmartView Sectional Matrix System, which uses new technology to create systems that simplify, are easier to use and last longer than those currently on the market.
The SmartView Sectional Matrix System uses a retainer that works more like a like a spring or “clip”. Instead of bending, the SmartView Clip twists, evenly distributing forces throughout the device – making it much more robust and easier to place. Because most of the SmartView clip operates at the gingival margin, forces are directed perpendicular to the tooth and down, virtually eliminating “spring-offs” mid procedure. In addition to a more resilient disposition, the SmartView Clip doubles as a rubber dam clamp. This translates into fewer steps, less clutter and with two devices combined into one, an overall better value.
The sectional matrix bands have a non-stick surface, the shape is anatomically contoured and a reinforced placement tab has been incorporated for easier removal and placement. Instruments are made of high-grade titanium and tinted blue to make them easier to identify on an instrument tray.
“We took a close look at the difficulties dentists were having with traditional sectional matrix systems on the market and knew there had to be a better way,” says John Boos, founder and CEO of CompositeSmart. “Matrix band tabs would tear during removal. Planer or flat matrix rings had a tendency of springing off mid procedure, were hard to open and deformed after a short period of time. Plastic reinforcement and nickel titanium had been used to help mitigate some of these issues but the root cause was never addressed. Our new system offers a real solution.”
