ALGONQUIN, Ill.—Plak Smacker has introduced VursaWedge, a new matrix wedge technology designed to deliver perfectly sealed gingival margins.

The specially developed split wedge technology is designed to deliver an improved 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, reducing the time needed to finish the restoration and remove flash from the 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. “VursaWedge is the culmination of several years spent analyzing and solving the inherent physical limitations of current wedges on the market.”

Plak Smacker has partnered with 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 20 and is free to attend.
