The spindle holds the matrix band in the retainer. The guide slot functions to position the band to the right or left depending on the area of the mouth being restored. The inner knob adjusts the size or loop of the matrix band to fit around the tooth and loosens the band for removal. The outer knob tightens or loosens the matrix band in the retainer. The diagonal slot positions the matrix on the spindle.
