- Match the Denovo bands to the ratchets as shown in image 7 and 7A. It should be a snug fit. Once you have the ratchet for each size of the denovo band, make sure u scribe the size number (image 7B) of that Denovo band on that ratchet. You can use a hand piece and any bur and scribe on the ratchet.
- Take a piece of the matrix band as shown in image 8 and 8A.
- Fold it around the ratchet for the size of the denovo band you have chosen to make. IMAGE 9A
- Use the howe plier and give it a good pinch to conform the shape image 9.
- When the band is removed from the ratchet it should look nice and circular if you gave it a good pinch. see image 10.
- Take it to the spot welder. Give it to 2 tags of spot welding, not more. If more than 2 tag welds are done then it is difficult to split the band to remove it after the filling. see image 11 11A.

- The cut edges of the band are sharp and have to be rounded with a pair of scissors. See image 12 and 13.
- Use a small magnet pick up tool ($7.00)to remove the small sharp metal pieces so your DA or anyone fabricating the band wont get cut. IMAGE 14
