Spanish term or phrase: cierre de hojalatero, cierre de corte
I 'm translating undergraduate dentistry program study topics from Spanish (Colombia) to English (UK).
During the ninth academic period, one of the classes students take is Pediatric Dentistry Clinical Practice.
In that class, they perform operative dentistry procedures with topics such as:
"uso de bandas en T, en S, cierre de hojalatero, cierre de corte"

My attempts at translating the terms:
tinsmith's joint
cutting joint

English translation:tofflemire matrix, modified triangular wedge
Explanation:
El contexto original parece hacer referencia a matrices (bandas en T, matriz de hojalatero, etc.). El primer término planteado diría que es claramente equivalente a las tofflemire matrices. El segundo imagino que hace referencia a la modificación mediante corte de un triangular wedge ("a sharp-bladed instrument may be used to modify the triangular steepness of the wedge" [modified triangular wedge]).

As for wooden, wedges can be made of wooden toothpicks (see second link) but I am not sure so as to include "wooden" here; may be just wedges/wedging?

I asked the client, who is a dentist, for her opinion She agrees with Tofflemire matrix and, as to the second term, prefers "wooden wedge".
Many thanks

agree  neilmac: Maybe Tofflemire needs a capital letter; it looks like a surname/proper name...

  -> Yeap. I've searched about it but couldn't come out with a clear answer, while it is many times written with lower case "t". But yes, it really sounds like a proper name!
