Rubber Dam Clamps – Winged & Wingless Isolation Tools for Precision Dentistry

Rubber dam clamps are critical instruments in endodontics and restorative dentistry, designed to secure the rubber dam around the tooth and isolate the operative field. This isolation ensures a dry, visible, and contamination-free environment. BusinessMed Instruments provides a range of CE-certified stainless steel clamps in winged and wingless variants, offering excellent retention and patient comfort.


Types of Rubber Dam Clamps

Winged vs. Wingless Clamps

  • Winged clamps enable simultaneous placement of the dam and frame, speeding up procedures in general restorations.

  • Wingless clamps are positioned first on the tooth, followed by the dam, offering superior access during endodontic treatments, particularly for posterior teeth.


Clamp Selection by Tooth Group


Key Features to Highlight

  • High-Quality Stainless Steel: Resistant to corrosion, retains tension, and is fully autoclavable.

  • Anatomical Jaw Designs: Serrated, flat, or festooned jaws ensure four-point contact without tissue trauma.

  • Strong Retention: Secure grip minimizes clamp dislodgement during procedures.

  • CE & ISO Certified: Guarantees compliance with international dental instrument standards.


Clinical Use Cases

  • Endodontic Treatments: Wingless clamps like #138 are preferred for posterior isolation during root canal therapy.

  • Restorative Procedures: Winged clamps simplify simultaneous placement of the dam and frame.

  • Atraumatic Application: Proper sizing and technique prevent gingival injury and ensure patient comfort.

FAQs

Q1. How do I choose the correct clamp size?
Select based on tooth morphology; larger clamps (#202) fit broad molars, while smaller options (#203) suit narrow crowns.

Q2. When should I use a wingless clamp?
Wingless types like #138 are ideal when dam placement is required after the clamp is seated, often in endodontics.

Q3. Can clamps damage soft tissues?
Proper four-point contact and careful placement minimize risk of trauma.

Q4. Are BusinessMed Instruments clamps autoclavable?
Yes, all clamps are CE-certified and fully autoclavable.
