A controlled working area is important during many dental procedures. A dental dam, also known as a rubber dam, is a dental consumable used to isolate the treatment area and help control moisture during dental treatment.
What Is a Dental Dam?
A dental dam is a thin, flexible sheet placed around the teeth being treated. It creates a barrier between the selected teeth and the surrounding oral environment.
Dental isolation can help provide a cleaner and more controlled working field, while allowing dental professionals to maintain better visibility and access to the treatment area.
Benefits of Using a Dental Dam
A dental dam can provide several practical benefits during selected dental procedures:
- Moisture Control
Helps keep saliva and moisture away from the treatment area. - Improved Visibility
Provides a clearer working field for dental professionals. - Better Access
Helps separate the treatment area from surrounding oral tissues. - Dental Isolation
Creates a controlled area during procedures where isolation is required.
Dental Dam Applications
Dental dams may be used in various areas of dentistry, including:
- Restorative dentistry
- Endodontic procedures
- Root canal treatment
- Adhesive dentistry
- Dental procedures requiring moisture control
The appropriate use of a rubber dam for dentistry depends on the procedure and the dental professional’s requirements.
Choosing the Right Dental Dam
When selecting a dental rubber dam, factors such as material, thickness, flexibility, size and tear resistance should be considered.
For dental clinics, dental professionals and dental supply distributors, choosing a suitable dental dam sheet can help meet different clinical and product requirements.
