MDC NIC TONE® Synthetic (Non-Latex) Dental Dam Medium Blue 6"x6" 15 Sheets/box

Description:

nic tone Synthetic Rubber Dam is a textured, non-latex rubber dam, available in medium thickness and a 6×6 size. It is capable of stretching up to 800% of its original size without tearing

Unique Attributes

Slightly more firm than traditional non-latex rubber dams, this version from MDC Dental does not tear as easily yet is very adaptable to the teeth.  Placement and application were simple and smooth.

Clinical Tips

• Potentially go up a size on the hole you cut for the dam.
• Lubricate the rubber dam punch before punching the holes. Be sure to create a seal on the frame by pulling with some force over the nubs.
• Use a dam+clamp placement technique (rather than placing the clamp on the tooth and then placing the dam)
• Pre-stretch prior to placement.
• I’d use the slit technique to release some of the tension placed with isolating individual teeth within a quadrant

Indication

Isolation and retraction of teeth and surrounding tissues for endodontic and restorative procedures.
