Master your green state zirconia
The threat of microfractures makes performing heavy adjustments to sintered zirconia a risky proposition. This risk is significantly lowered when adjustments are made before sintering. Whether you need to adjust interproximal separations or fine-tune occlusal surfaces, Matrix Shapers make working with green state zirconia an easy task with amazing results.
Materials
Unsintered zirconia, a.k.a. green state zirconia.
Use
The unique composition of Matrix Shapers delivers controlled surface treatment. Whether you need to adjust occlusion, smooth and blend connector bars or thin margins before sintering your zirconia, you can depend on results with an ultra-smooth surface.
Grits
Our medium grit is the standard, all-purpose option perfect for any task. Our Duo Shapers have a larger green body that is medium grit with a fine grit white tip. This allows you to make quick reductions and precise touch-ups with one tool. The fine grit is the perfect choice for adding a delicate finishing touch.
Difference
Matrix Shapers were designed to give you more control while working with green state zirconia. Whatever type of refining or shaping you need to complete, Matrix Shapers will help you make more natural adjustments. These subtleties add up to a significant improvement in the finished restoration.

Matrix Shapers FAQ
How do Matrix Shapers differ from regular rotary tools?
Matrix Shapers are specifically designed for unsintered zirconia, cutting efficiently while minimizing the risk of chipping or microfractures. Standard rotary tools can stress delicate green state materials, leading to cracks or damage.
Can Matrix Shapers be used on other materials?
Matrix Shapers are specifically designed for unsintered zirconia (green state) and perform best on this material. While they may work on other soft materials, using them outside of their intended purpose can lead to reduced tool performance and shorten their lifespan.
What do the measurements on Matrix Shapers refer to?
The measurements on Matrix Shapers include both the diameter (widest part) and the height (length) of the working portion.
What speed should I use when operating Matrix Shapers?
Matrix Shapers perform best at speeds between 6,000 and 8,000 RPM, depending on the shape, with a maximum speed of 20,000 RPM. Staying within this range ensures smooth, precise shaping of unsintered zirconia (green state) while minimizing the risk of chipping or fractures. For specific speed recommendations, refer to the product label or the chart on our website.
