“Can we use a putty matrix during the dental bench test exam?”
👉 The truth is: only a few exams allow it.
So why include a putty matrix in your bench test training if most exams don’t permit it?
Because it’s one of the best tools to sharpen your skills. Especially when practicing alone, putty helps you catch details you might miss otherwise—like clearance or wall direction.
Once you’ve trained your eye with putty, you can step up to the next level of bench test practice without it.
So yes—grab that putty matrix and let it guide your progress during training!
