Black Triangle Gauge-Measure the size of black triangle and use the color of matrix accordingly
Black Triangle (BT) Kit
Bioclear is pleased to introduce the Black Triangle System, a new matrix system that enables black triangle closure up to 40% faster* than with the original Bioclear matrices.
Black Triangle matrices are custom designed for black triangle treatment and require no trimming prior to seating.
A color-coded gauge and matrices make choosing the correct curvature for gingival embrasure closure simple and predictable. Curvature is indicated by colors at the top of the matrix and correspond with a gauge that, when inserted into the black triangle, indicates which curvature to use.
The matrices come in two sizes (large incisor and small incisor) and four curvatures allowing you to treat the entire anterior sextant, canine to canine and both upper and lower arches with strong aesthetically pleasing results.
Black triangle Matrices
Using paired matrices, curvature (indicated by color) closes spaces up to:
Pink – 1 mm space
Yellow – 1.5 mm space
Green – 2 mm space
Blue – 2.5 mm space
1. Small Incisor BT Matrix Tub: For mandibular incisors and small maxillary lateral incisors
2. Large Incisor BT Matrix Tub: Are taller and wrap the tooth more than the Small Incisor BT Matrices. They should be used for maxillary central Incisors, large maxillary lateral incisors, maxillary and mandibular canines, and maxillary and mandibular bicuspids.
TruContact Saws and Sanders
Contact optimization is an essential part of the Bioclear Method. Natural contacts are generally too tight and too rough to allow insertion of a mylar matrix. Bioclear TruContact Saws and Sanders are designed to work in sequence to lighten the contact which then improves the ease of placement of the mylar matrices. As an additional advantage, the TruContact also removes biofilm from the contact
Dual Color Disclosing Solution
Disclosing solution for discovery of cracks and biofilm for blasting. Newer Biofilm stains pink. Older biofilm & cracks (more than 24 hours) stain purple, aiding the clinician in properly educating patients about oral hygiene & restorative needs.
Cleaning & Sterilization
1. BT Gauges and TrueContact Saws and Sanders are reusable and autoclavable. Wash with soap and water using a soft brush to remove debris
Note: Do NOT use sprays/wipes, this could damage the BT Gauge.
2. Sterilize using steam sterilizers only on the regular cycle
Note: Temperature of sterilizer should NOT exceed 270° F/132° C

Instructions:
1. GAP SIZING
A. Insert the BT Gauge (included in the Intro Black Triangle Kit) under the contact into the black triangle space from facial to lingual until gauge binds.
B. Look from the occlusal to see which color matrix to use. The incisal edges are a good reference. If the gauge is in between colors, use the matrix with the smaller amount of curvature (see the Curvature Guidelines on the back of the instructions)
C. Decide if the tooth is small or large, and then choose the appropriate colored matrix in that size
D. Small – mandibular incisors, or small maxillary lateral incisors
E. Large – All other teeth - maxillary incisors, maxillary canines, mandibular canines, and bicuspids
2. DISCLOSE AND CLEAN
A. Use Bioclear Dual Color Disclosing Solution (included in the Intro Black Triangle Kit), then blast or traditionally clean until all biofilm is removed.
3. CONTACT OPTIMIZATION
A. Use the blue, orange, and red TruContact Saws and Sanders (included in the Intro Black Triangle Kit), in order, to clean contact and to manage tension of contact as needed.
4. MATRIX INSERTION
A. Insert the appropriate paired matrices as determined by the BT Gauge and the Sizing Guidelines on the back page.
5. ETCH AND RINSE
A. Etch the entire tooth for 20 seconds, rinse, and dry.
6. ADHESION, INJECTION MOLDING, LIGHT CURE BUCCAL AND LINGUAL, RELEASE MATRIX, FINISH
A. After adhesion, injection over-mold the tooth with flowable and/or regular paste composite into the matrices. Cure the composite from buccal and lingual.
B. Completely release the matrices from the teeth by running a Clark Explorer (not included) between matrix and tooth. Use a hemostat to grab and remove matrix.
C. Finish the restoration
Storage
Store at cool and dry place
