Dental Rubber Dam Clamp

Dental Rubber Dam Clamps are dental instruments used in the field of dentistry. They are part of the supply class Dental Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies, which falls under the supply group Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies.

Rubber dam clamps are used during dental procedures to isolate a specific tooth or area of the mouth. They are made of metal and have a curved shape with small prongs or wings that grip onto the tooth. The rubber dam clamp is placed around the tooth and secured in place using a dental dam, which is a thin sheet of latex or non-latex material.

The purpose of using a rubber dam clamp is to create a dry and isolated working area in the mouth. This helps to prevent contamination from saliva and other oral fluids, improving visibility and reducing the risk of infection. Rubber dam clamps also provide better access and control during dental procedures, such as fillings, root canals, or crown placements.

There are different types and sizes of rubber dam clamps available, each designed to fit specific teeth or dental conditions. Dentists and dental professionals select the appropriate clamp based on the tooth being treated and the procedure being performed.

Overall, dental rubber dam clamps are essential tools in dental practices, ensuring a clean and controlled environment for various dental procedures.
