It is a common choice for premolars, and its smooth, curved jaws grip the cervical area of the tooth without the deep serrations of a molar clamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rubber dam clamp anchors the dam to the tooth so the field stays dry and isolated during root canal treatment, bonding and restorative work. The jaws grip the tooth just below the height of contour, and the bow carries the dam over the tooth while keeping it out of the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDesign and Handling\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe clamp has a black matte, non-glare finish. Under a bright operatory light or a microscope, a polished clamp throws back reflections into the field. The matte surface reduces that glare, so the tooth and the margins are easier to see during long procedures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wings extend from each jaw so the dam can be stretched over them. The two forceps holes take Ivory or Palmer pattern rubber dam forceps, and the bow is shaped to keep the dam away from the access cavity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003ePlacement Technique\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eTie a length of floss to the bow before placement as a safety line, so the clamp can be retrieved if it slips. Seat the forceps beaks in the two holes, spread the clamp just enough to pass over the widest part of the crown, and lower it to the cervical area before releasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck that all four points of the jaws contact the tooth and that the clamp does not rock. A clamp that rocks or pinches the gingiva should be repositioned or swapped for another pattern. The wings let you place the clamp, dam and frame together in one step, or you can place the clamp first and stretch the dam over it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMaterial and Sterilization\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade from stainless steel with a black matte finish. Autoclavable. Clean the clamp after each use, and check the bow for fatigue or cracks before it goes into the pouch. Replace a clamp that has lost its spring or no longer holds firmly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul class=\"feature-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinged premolar rubber dam clamp, pattern #2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth, curved jaws for premolars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack matte, non-glare finish for less reflection under the light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWings for placing the clamp, dam and frame in one step\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits Ivory and Palmer pattern rubber dam forceps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel, autoclavable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SurgiWorld","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67751069385018,"sku":"RDC2","price":24.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/2975\/5194\/files\/RDC2_1.jpg?v=1792585449","url":"https:\/\/thedentalsolutions.ca\/products\/surgiworld-rubber-dam-clamp-2-winged-premolar-black-matte-rdc2","provider":"Dental Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
