What matrices are commonly used on primary teeth?

  1. Matrix band and wooden wedge

  2. T-band and spot welded

  3. Sectional matrix and ring

  4. Circumferential matrix

The correct answer is: T-band and spot welded

Choice C, the sectional matrix and ring, are used for posterior Class II restorations in permanent teeth. Choice D, circumferential matrix, is used for anterior Class II restorations in permanent teeth. Therefore, choice B, T-band and spot welded, is the correct answer for matrices commonly used on primary teeth.
