A dental implement that includes a biasing ring and a pair of opposing tines. The biasing ring includes a substantially hoop-like configuration terminating at two opposing ends which are spaced apart from each other a distance. The pair of opposing tines extend inwardly from each of the two ends of the biasing ring toward each other. Each of the pair of opposing tines is coupled to the respective opposing end about a central region thereof and extends radially outwardly therefrom. Each tine includes a front face having opposing sides, a top end and a bottom end. The front face is defined by two inwardly inclined surfaces which start at the opposing sides and incline inwardly toward each other and intersect to form a peak that extends at least partially between the top end and the bottom end of the front face. The peaks of the opposing tine assemblies face each other.

A matrix retainer apparatus for dental restorations is formed from a resilient, substantially planar main body, a pair of fines extending from the ends of the main body and retention members provided on the tines. The retention members serve to increase the coefficient of friction between the matrix retainer and the tooth or tooth reconstruction element and avoid inadvertent removal of the retainer therefrom. The invention is also directed to a matrix retainer system composed of several matrix retainers adapted for a variety of complex applications.

A dental instrument comprises a handle member and a tool assembly. The handle member includes a first end, a second end and a longitudinal axis. The tool assembly extends from the first end of the handle member. The tool assembly comprises a tool arm, a first blade member and a second blade member. The tool arm has a proximal end extending from the first end of the handle and a distal end spaced therefrom. The first blade member extends away from the distal end of the tool arm and has a first flattened region. The second blade member extends away from the distal end of the tool arm and has a second flattened region. The first and second flattened regions are substantially perpendicular to each other in one dimension. The first blade member is configured for substantially transverse movement within a mouth of a patient. The second blade member is configured for substantially longitudinal movement within a mouth of a patient. Rotation of the handle member about the longitudinal axis thereof alternatively places one of the first and second blade member in an operative position.
