matrix band
a flexible strip that is placed round a tooth to restore a wall, thus simplifying insertion of a dental filling.

* * *

a cylindrical stainless steel or copper band or short tube with a special clamp or holder; it is filled with a softened impression compound and seated over a tooth, so that the compound flows into the prepared cavity and an impression of a single tooth can be obtained. Also used in the placement and contouring of restorative materials such as resin or glass ionomer cement, and to form the fourth wall of a class II cavity preparation during the condensation of an amalgam restoration.
