Rubber Dam
Made from natural latex, thoroughly washed in the manufacturing stage to reduce surface proteins. Ivory dam has extremely high tear strength, reducing waste from tearing during application. The dam is thin and pliable, allowing easy placement in especially difficult areas. The colour tints increases visibility by its contrast.
Available in 6×6 or 5×5 and Non Latex Dam also available.

Punch
This precision instrument is made from high quality stainless steel. The unique floating plunger strikes all edges of the cutting disc evenly, guaranteeing a perfect, tear-resistant hole every time. The cutting disc rotates through a range of 6 hole sizes, providing the correct opening for the smallest anterior tooth to the largest molar.

Forceps
The Ivory forceps are made from high grade stainless steel, which will assure many years of use. The forceps will reach around the bow of any clamp without tilting, which is especially important when reversing a clamp. The straight head design allows easy gripping and placement of any clamp size.

Why use rubber dam?

The great benefits and gains of using rubber dam cannot be overestimated and it has proven to increase the prognosis when used both during filling therapy as well as endodontic treatment.
Rubber Dam takes a few minutes to apply but the many benefits easily compensate for the time. One of the most important reasons for using rubber dam is to eliminate salivary contamination and the risk of microorganisms which is the main cause of endodontic failures. Another very important reason is to reduce the risk of accidental loss of instruments in the pharynx and trachea. However using rubber dam also has great benefits when it comes to restorations that involve bonding and cementation where moisture control is of great importance.

Benefits of using rubber dam:

• Complete moisture control
• Improved visibility
• Aseptic working area which eliminates salivary contamination
• Reduced risk of accidental loss of instruments in the pharynx and trachea
• Prevents etching and irrigation due to solvents getting into contact with the gingiva and the oral mucosa
