Rubber Dam Kit

Description

A Rubber Dam Kit is a complete isolation system used to create a clean, dry, and safe working field during dental procedures. By stretching a thin sheet around the tooth and securing it with a clamp, the kit seals the area from saliva and aerosols, improves visibility, and protects the airway. This controlled environment is essential for adhesive dentistry and endodontics, where moisture compromises bond strength and outcomes.

What’s typically included

• Stainless steel clamp forceps with a secure locking mechanism

• Rubber dam punch with multiple hole sizes

• Metal frame for stable, comfortable retraction

• Assorted winged and wingless clamps for molars, premolars, and anterior teeth

• Organizer case; some kits add tweezers, templates, or ligature floss

Key features and benefits

• Moisture control that supports stronger bonds and longer-lasting restorations

• Improved access and visibility for precise preparation and finishing

• Patient safety by reducing risk of aspiration or ingestion of instruments and debris

• Better infection-control practices by limiting splatter and cross-contamination

• Durable, autoclavable stainless steel instruments with polished edges for comfort

• Latex and non-latex dam options used widely across clinical settings

Common uses

• Adhesive restorations, sealants, and cementation of inlays/onlays

• Endodontic therapy from access to obturation

• Whitening and internal bleaching

• Pediatric and minimally invasive dentistry where moisture control is critical

How it compares

• Cotton rolls and cheek retractors offer partial isolation; a rubber dam provides a true seal, superior safety, and more predictable adhesive performance.

Care

• Clean, inspect springs and tips, and sterilize instruments after each patient. Replace worn clamps or torn sheets promptly.

Choose this Rubber Dam Kit to standardize isolation across your practice, improve clinical efficiency, and deliver cleaner, stronger results.
