The humble tofflemire retainer is perhaps the most versatile of all dental tools. It can support a really wide variety of matrix bands and these can be used for deep margin elevations, 2 stage matrixing, definitive matrixing, provisionals etc

In this demonstration video, Chris talks us through Tofflemire retainers, indications for the range of bands available and some hints and tips for using them.
