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
