Green State Zirconia Shaping and Contouring Tools for Dental Labs

Matrix Shapers are precision rotary instruments built for working with green state zirconia. Whether you're smoothing sprue attachments or refining occlusal anatomy, these tools help dental technicians work quickly and confidently – without chipping, cracking, or compromising marginal integrity. Designed specifically for the pre-sintered stage, Matrix Shapers strike the perfect balance between aggressive reduction and detailed finishing.

Why Use Matrix Shapers on Green State Zirconia?

Green state zirconia – also referred to as pre-sintered or unsintered zirconia – is easy to adjust but highly fragile. Using tools that are too aggressive or imprecise can lead to chips, microfractures, or distorted anatomy, especially near margins and contacts. Matrix Shapers are specifically designed to address these challenges, giving technicians the ability to shape and refine restorations at the green state with greater confidence and consistency.

Designed for Unsintered Zirconia

Matrix Shapers are engineered to respond predictably on green state zirconia – removing material efficiently while minimizing overcutting and margin damage. Their composition and bond structure allow for smoother transitions and better surface integrity compared to traditional rotary tools. Matrix works across all major zirconia systems and is ideal for occlusal adjustment, contact refinement, and sprue removal prior to sintering.

Key Benefits of Matrix Shapers

  • Available in Multiple Grits: Choose from dual, medium, or fine grit options
  • Purpose-Built: Specifically for green state zirconia, not sintered materials
  • No Chipping: Minimizes microfractures before sintering
  • Cleaner Anatomy: Excellent for pre-sintered occlusal refinement
  • Speed-Optimized: Perform best at 6,000–8,000 RPM

Choose Your Shape and Grit

Matrix Shapers are available in six distinct shapes – Point, Bullet, Disc, Tapered Barrel, Duo Narrow, and Duo Wide – with grit options that include Dual (Medium/Fine), Medium, and Fine. This range allows you to select the right combination of shape and grit for each case. Each tool is crafted with precision and durability to support a clean, predictable workflow.

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.

What makes the Duo Shaper different?

The Duo Shaper features a two part grit structure - a medium grit body for fast reduction and a fine grit tip for precise finishing - all in one tool.

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.

How are Matrix Shapers packaged?

Matrix Shapers are sold in boxes of five.

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.
