V3 System Testimonials
"Triodent V3 is the hottest product on the planet."
Jaimee Morgan, DDS

Salt Lake City, Utah

"The V3 is the most intuitively designed matrix system I've used. I get a broad, tight contact every time, in addition to the ease of placement and minimal flash."
Rafeeq N. Rahman, DDS
"I truly don’t believe you can provide a good composite restoration without the V3 Matrix System."
Marjan Goodacre, BDS
"After 20 years searching, I think the V3 is the best matrix system out there. Thanks for your outstanding, lifesaving product."
Robert Ho, DDS 
San Francisco, CA
"They'd have to cut my hands off to take my V3 Rings off me."
Jonathan Swarbrigg, BDS 
Farsley, England
"I was reluctant to try the V3 System because I was doing just fine with Palodent. But when I did I was instantly impressed. The V3 System is extremely well engineered, from the contours of the bands to the shape of the wedges. The V3 Rings have a gentle feel to them and I enjoy using the Pin-Tweezers for placing and removing the wedges and matrices. Two thumbs up to the person who developed this system, it is magnificent!!"
Colleen Scholz, DDS
"The V3 wins easily. It is a fantastic system and I hope more people use it. It is better for dentistry. I have never enjoyed direct composites this much."
Martin Martic, DDS
Sudbury, Ontario
"I was so lucky when I found the V3 system, and my patients are also very lucky. The V3 is the best sectional matrix system on the market and I rely totally on it."
Mika Jenytin, DDS
Helsinki, Finland
"Since incorporating the V3 Ring into the arsenal, I no longer worry about creating good contacts. I can achieve ideal contours at the proximal margins due to the way that the bands adapt to the tooth and the V3 Rings keep the bands adapted and contoured."
Stephen Sawyer, DDS
Metro Dental, Burnsville, MN
"The V3 Ring makes my posterior composites a predictable and efficient procedure. Definitely a step ahead of any other system I've used."
Dr Nathan Kjolhaug, DDS
Metro Dental, Midway
"Composite interproximal contacts are a snap with Triodent's V3 Ring. Stability and ease of placement, anatomic angulation, and plastic tines that accommodate wedges comfortably, V3 all-NiTi rings deliver predictable contacts every time."
George Freedman, DDS, FAACD, FACD
“So, I bought a new ring system at the ADA meeting on a whim. I used it for the first time and had a sinking feeling in my stomach. I instantly realized how much frustration I had had with all the other ring systems that I've used over the years. The V3 system may be the perfect design for establishing interproximal contacts with composite.”
Todd Ehrlich, DDS on Dentaltown."
"Every once in a while, I come across a truly innovative company in the dental industry that vastly improves the services we provide by using products that are tremendous enhancements. Triodent, a NZ based company is one such - founded by an English dentist by the name of Dr Simon McDonald. Their V-Ring and V3 Ring sectional matrix systems are the best I have ever used and I have used the Palodent and Garrison since their inception. An outstanding product range is also augmented by triple impression trays that are fantastic."
The ACE Institute
"With Triodent's V3 Matrix System, we now have a simple solution for creating tight-fitting and natural-looking contacts when restoring posterior teeth with direct composite material."
Ara Nazarian, DDS
"Love it, love it. I can't believe I practiced for the last 13 years without it. Damn, I am embarrassed that my Class II fillings would look like straight walls without the contours!"
Marvin Rodrigue, DDS
Pearland, TX
"It would always frustrate me when you would try and put a matrix band around a posterior tooth and it would only seat on one side. The V3 Ring has been a blessing to my practice because not only does it eliminate my matrix band frustrations, but never have I had a problem getting a contact on a posterior tooth, which makes me and my patients happy. The product gets me such tight contacts that sometimes I have trouble getting the matrix band out after the procedure is complete. The system is so quick and easy to use and my favorite part is still the wedges that mimic the gingival papillae. Thanks again."
Donald J. Annicelle, DDS
Trumbull, CT
"Using the Triodent V3 has been an outstanding restorative experience. I thought my methods and materials for restorative procedures were at the highest level, then I purchased Triodent's V3 system. After the first restoration I could see how much greater adaptation, better contours and tighter contacts this system creates. I am thoroughly impressed and delighted with this product."
Dr Ken Banks
Inwood, WV
"The V3 Ring is by far the best purchase I have made for my practice, ever. I cannot speak more highly of the product. It is a dental restorative necessity."
Dr Isidoro Ferlito
Carlingford, NSW Australia
"I have been practicing for 26 years and have tried all different types of rings for composites. So far the V3 has been by far the best. Thanks."
Dr Henry Tom
North Vancouver, BC
"If you are considering a new matrix system or want something better than you currently have, the V3 Ring system is a must for your practice."
Spiros Agapitos, BDSc
Mount Hawthorn, Western Australia
"The V3 Ring has made the placement of Class II composite resins so easy that I do not use amalgam any more, even in those very difficult situations."
Dr Greg Roditis
Australia
"When my V3 Rings are sterilizing and I have to resort to using other methods, no matter how hard I try, I cannot get close to the results I achieve with the V3 Rings. They help me to produce the most anatomical contours and tightest contacts of any system I have tried, and I have tried many."
Dr Rob Ramotar
Port St Lucie, FL.
"Since I got my first V3 Ring I completely forgot what it's like to have an open contact. Thank you to everyone at Triodent."
Dr Serge-Alexandre Bellavance
Lac-Beauport, QC, Canada
"The V3 was my best purchase of the year. My fillings are better and easier than ever."
Dr Noam Kranz
New Milford, NJ
"I've tried them all and the V3 system, when used correctly with the Wave-Wedges and V3 Matrices, is hands-down the best! Trust me, you'll never look back. Triodent's innovation has made dentistry more fun!"
Komson Sudhi, DDS
Plano, TX
"The adaptability, security and position of the Universal V3 and Narrow V3 with their accompanying matrices are second to none when placing composites. They have far outperformed any other system I have used."
Marshall C Fields, DMD
Columbia, SC
"The V3 Ring is the best ring I have ever worked with. It actually perfected Triodent's previous version of ring. It stays very rigidly in the interproximal area. It doesn't slip on the tooth or in the ring forceps. If you want the perfect contact with optimal contours you have to use the V3 Ring."
Dr Saad Bassas, DDS
Sartell, MN
"A no-brainer for any dentist who wants perfect restorations every time."
Steven B Manson, DDS
Long Island City, NY
"Simply the best matrix system I've tried. I was very impressed that it got even better with the new V3 Ring. Simply a must for every dentist concerned with good contact points."
Dr Andrew Hong
Kent, England
Post-op-small Pre-op-small "The V3 Ring and associated matrices and Wave-Wedges are awesome. I have been placing posterior composites for about 15 years and used to struggle to get good proximal contours and contacts. Now, getting solid proximal contacts and proper proximal contours with minimal flash is almost automatic with the Triodent ring, matrix and wedge system. Just this morning I did a DOL with a deep proximal box on #2 and an adjacent MO on #1. There’s no way I could have accomplished this without the V3 Ring. I think these radiographs (pre-op and post-op) say everything about how this system allows dentists to accomplish what was once considered virtually impossible."
William Lin, DDS
San Diego, CA
"Love it, love it, can't live without it."
Sam Hamam, DDS
Clinton, MD
"Incomparably the most user-friendly, reliable composite matrix system on the market. Impressively tight contacts every time! I've already been telling all my fellow dentists about it since I started using the system. Love the Wave-Wedges too. It's amazing that something so anatomically correct and functional hadn't been invented before."
Dr Noelle Bunt
Trenton, Ontario
I use my V3 system many times a day. The interproximal contact I can get with the system is fantastic. I feel much more secure using the V3 system as I have never had a ring ‘pop off'. The three matrices give great choice. I use the V3 system for all my Class II posterior composites and many Class II amalgams. I love this system!!!"."
Dr Barbara Tippet
Nelson, New Zealand
"We have been using the V3 Ring for the last few months at our clinic and we are hooked! We are five dentists at the clinic and we are all using them now. We think that our composite restorations are reaching a higher level of quality. It is much more satisfactory for the dentist to work with. They give a great comfort for the patient, both during treatment and after with the function of the restoration. So, please never stop producing those little miracles!! Greetings from Denmark."
Anne Bogild, DDS
Lindealle, Denmark
I have been using the V-Ring since my graduation. I used to have to make a lot of time-consuming adjustments as a student using the Tofflemire matrices. My search for an easier way to restore led me to order the original V-Rings and Simon gave me a student discount as well. I am glad I switched to the V-Ring. With the advent of the V3 it has become even easier for me to restore - and more comfortable for my patients. I have even got my associate hooked on it. Thanks again for making it easier."
Dr James Hu
New Westminister, BC, Canada
"So the V3 Ring is one year old - it seems like I have been using it for decades. I loved the old V-Rings and matrices but the V3 Ring is fantastic - does New Zealand proud."
Dr Stuart Phillips
Claremonth,Western Australia
"The V3 Ring is used multiple times every day in my office and without it I cannot imagine having a good contact and well contoured composite fillings."
Dr Harry Weingarten
Ontario,Canada
"You have a wonderful product in the V3 Ring. Great contacts are assured every time, and with a little practice they are very simple to use. I shall never go back to older systems. Many thanks, the answer to the dentist's prayers!"
Dr Edward Furze
Australia
"I have been using the V3 Ring system and the V-Ring before it for two years and have found it to be an excellent product. I can routinely create a tight contact area between the teeth, and find the wedging system also very easy to insert and use. The soft matrices are easy to insert using the tweezers that come as part of the kit. In all it is an excellent product and an invaluable product for placing Class II composite restorations."
Stephen Lazarus, C.Ch.D
Prestwich, Manchester
"The V3 Ring has made my life easier from not having to adjust nearly the amount of interproximal flash as the previous rings. It is very durable and does not distort as easy as the previous ring either. Thank you, V3 Ring!!!"
Dr M. Brad Forrest, DMD, PA
Matthews, NC
"I have used every system on the market and hands down, no competition, your system with the plastic wedges, matrix and of course the V3 gives me the predictable contacts that I need and the patients deserve. Thanks for creating such a nice system. Finally, posterior Class II restorations are predictable, fun and rewarding."
Gordon H West, DDS
Lafayette, CO
"I was a Tofflemire matrix band user for years and the earlier sectional matrix designs, although a fine idea, did not convince me to make a change. The V3 was a slam dunk for me and now I routinely use them to place my Class II restorations. You took a great concept and made it practical for the clinician. Thanks!"
Peter W. Cha, DDS, FAGD
Fredrick, MD
"I have been using the V3 Ring since it was introduced a year ago. Now, I can't imagine doing a posterior composite without one. I have tried many different systems to place Class II composites and each has its strengths and weaknesses. However, none of them has the ease of use and the superior results I get with the V3 system. Thanks for creating such a great product! (By the way, I really like the WAMkey, too.)"
Joel I. Nathanson, DMD, MAGD
Timonium, MD
"Sick of digging out leftover meat/food between your recent composite restorations in your patient's mouth due to open contacts, and feeling awful about your restorative work? You gotta try the V3 Ring! It makes creating good contacts so much easier and simple! Not only can you produce your own high quality restorations, but you can also fix up any existing open contacts that your patients already have and they will gladly thank you and appreciate your work."
Dr Anna Lai
Croydon, Victoria, Australia
"I have been using the V3 since its introduction and love it. I have recommended it to an Israeli dentist who tried both the green and yellow ones I brought for him to try. He has since then purchased his own and loves it as well. My own dentist has incorporated it into his practice as well. Keep up the great innovations."
Dr Staurt Shaffren
New York, NY
"Gone are the fears of finishing a nice-looking composite restoration and then checking the contact and it's wide open! The V3 Ring has made resin restorations worry free."
Kevin M. Apolito, DDS
Williamsville, NY
"We've been using the new V3 Ring for four months now and are amazed at the great interproximal contacts and reduced finishing time. We have used other ring systems but find the V3 to be the most convenient. We received a free V3 at the Western Regional Dental Convention and all three doctors in our office were vying for it. My son-in-law is in dental school at the University of Pittsburg and I'm sending him a V3 Ring set to use also. Thanks for a great product."
Stephen Driggs, DDS
Mesa, AZ
"V3 simplified placement of matrices. Before, the tines of the ring always interfered with the wedge. Now that's no longer the case and the ring goes on without fuss."
Dr Roger Chan
BC, Canada
"I love the green and yellow V3 Rings! I am getting great contacts and contours on my composite restorations. The matrices, rings and wedges are so easy to use. No more Tofflemire bands! The V3 Rings make composite restorations a cinch!"
Theresa Pham, DDS
San Diego, CA
"You folks have certainly done a great job with your separators and matrices. It's made my work a lot easier."
Leon L. Wiggin, DDS
Oneonta, NY
"We find that the V3 Ring gives us more consistent contacts than other systems that we have used. The contour of the matrix gives a more curved surface. The nylon wedges help close the band around some root concavities."
Dr Steve Deneka
Cornwall, Ontario
"I am a V3 Ring user. More importantly, a Garrison 3D user who is switching more and more to the Triodent V3 Ring system for its clever design and ease of use. Well done, keep up the good work."
Dr Andrew Shearon
West Vancouver, BC
"I no longer have to worry about whether or not I will have a contact when doing a proximal composite. The V3 Ring has made establishing proximal contacts a breeze. Furthermore, the ease in replacing proper physiologic and anatomical form and contour make for a functional, esthetic and long-lasting restoration. It is our matrix system of choice!"
Dr John Hubbard
Calgary, AB
"I have used many different matrix systems including three sectional systems. Without question the V3 is my first and only choice now. Simple to use with ‘why didn't I think of that' design features. Well done."
Dr Tom Daly
Harwich, Essex, UK
"I have tried many of the products out there but always ended up frustrated with loose or open contacts until the V3. Now I consistently get good, tight contacts on my Class IIs and IIIs. Thank you, Triodent!"
Dr Richard A Cea
Colorado Springs, CO
"I have been using the Triodent ring system for about six months. I have used every other ring/matrix system out there. I can say without a doubt that Triodent's V3 system is the easiest and best. The matrix fits well and the contours adapt almost perfectly to the tooth when the wedge and ring are in place. The pre-wedging step allows you to get a great contact every time. And the interproximal contours are outstanding. Thank you for providing such an outstanding product."
Mark M Ortinau, DDS, FAGD, FICD
Ellisville, MO
"The new V3 makes doing a posterior resin a breeze. It fits a greater number of teeth and provides an exceptionally tight contact. I use it for all my posterior resins. The Wave-Wedges also provide a perfect anatomical contact each time. The whole system is the easiest I have used and I would recommend it to anyone. A great product, Triodent."
Dr Jason Spoor
McLaren Vale, South Australia
"I have used many different systems, trying to achieve good contacts with posterior composite restorations, and this is the only system that I find produces consistently good results with whoever uses the kit."
Dr Alan Bookey
London, England
"After making a beautiful composite restoration, there's nothing more disheartening than pushing your floss through thin air, checking the contact point that isn't there. The V3 Ring from Triodent has changed all that. Good, tight contact points and well-contoured proximal surfaces are guaranteed with this great product. Restore your confidence in large or small interproximal composite restorations with the V3 Ring."
Dr Eric Klein
Sydney, New South Wales
"Thanks for a great product. I was very skeptical initially but I really needed something that would provide good contacts in a speedy, efficient manner and was tired of wasting time finishing. Your product delivered. It's gotten to the point that we can place and finish nicely-contoured, well-adapted restorations nearly as fast as an old-style amalgam. As you know, your product is not the least expensive purchase but in my opinion it is the least expensive by far if you take your time into account. My patients and I both thank you for such a well thought-out system. Keep up the great work."
Dr Paul Comparelli
Houston, BC
"Been using the V3 Ring for about a year and must say it is the best by far! The whole system, from the pliers to the wedges and matrices, just make it all the better. I even tried the competition's new-fangled ring and found it too big for most applications. Good going, Triodent!"
Jeffrey Kagihara, DDS
Honolulu, Hawaii
"I called to reorder more rings for my old Triodent system and a Triodent rep told me about the new V3 Rings. I bought one and was instantly hooked. This ring is wonderful! You don't have to worry about it slipping off the forceps or cutting the gingiva. I have told several of my colleagues about it and I have ordered several more rings myself. My contacts are now better than ever."
Beatriz T. Dennis, DMD
Greenville, SC
"I have been using your V3 Ring ever since I first got it at the Chicago Midwinter Meeting. I love it with no complaints. It is now my FIRST AND ONLY choice."
Dr Gregory Strobel
Chicago, IL
"Expensive yet worth every penny. Calculate the cost of redoing one open contact and you realize the value of this device. This is one product you cannot live without."
Daniel H Ward, DDS
Columbus, OH
"The V3 Ring and bands have given me the best and most consistent contacts on Class II composites that I have been able to achieve with any other system."
Dr David R. Hannula, DDS
Tacoma, WA
"I am very happy with your product. I have a drawer full of useless rings that I have used in the past. I wish this one had come along sooner. I can't help but think how much better my composite fillings would have been. It's like half the effort and twice the results. The only improvement I can suggest is to replace the matrix band remover with a hemostat-type instrument."
Joseph Aslanyan, DDS
Glendale, CA
"I have not done an amalgam in 14 years. It is the ability to get a great contact with the V3 Ring which allows me to enjoy composites. Add this to the contoured sectional matrices and you have a proven combination. Thank you, Triodent."
Dr Irvin Fremit
Chilliwack, BC
"The V3 Rings are just great and I use them routinely for all interproximal composites. I adopted them as soon as they arrived and don't use anything else. They seal at the margins more effectively and with better contours than any competing product and when I see companies selling composites using old-fashioned matrices I feel pity."
Dr Tony Ryder
Dunedin, NZ
"I love the ease of use and great contacts the V3 Ring provides to my Class II's. I used to spend more time contouring the restoration. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone."
Danny Dinh, DDS
Fredrick, MD
"I started using the V3 Ring about three months ago and I will never return to the old matrix system I was using. I have been so impressed with the nice contacts that I get and I have saved time by having very little finishing afterwards. This makes fillings exciting again! Thank you for your innovation!"
Jeremy White, DDS
Orem, UT
"I love the V3 Ring. It has made restoring teeth so much easier!!!"
Dr Vilma Pelaez Annicelle, DDS
New York, NY
"I wish I had discovered the V3 Ring when I first started doing Class II composites. It is fantastic! Maybe one has to experience multiple times the need for interproximal polishing with a diamond strip to remove overhangs and flash to truly appreciate this great product. My assistants always have polishing strips handy, but with the V3 Ring I rarely need to use them. I also love, really love, the Wave-Wedges. They are gentle to papillae and stay in place well."
Julie Gillis, DDS
Grand Junction, CO
"I have been using V3 Rings for many years now and I just cannot operate without it. There's many sectional matrices out there but nothing can be compared to the V3 Ring for its ease of use. I was not able to create a good contact point with the Tofflemire matrix band. With V3 Rings, you can achieve a tight contact every time. I just love it."
Dr Frank Huang
Dee Why, NSW, Australia
"Ever since I started using the V3 Ring for my direct composites, these restorations no longer fill me with dread. They have become so simple, yet so predictable."
Presh Mulay, BDS
Exeter, Devon
