About rubber dam clamps
The clamp is the part fitted to the tooth, and the FDA counts it within the same device as the dam. Clamps are put on with clamp forceps, which ISO 16635-2 covers as instruments for applying rubber dam clamps to teeth.
A rubber dam is a thin sheet with a hole in the centre, used to isolate a tooth from the fluids in the mouth: the tooth is put through the hole and the sheet is stretched around it. The FDA groups the dam, the clamp, the frame and the clamp forceps as one Class I device (21 CFR 872.6300).
It has been in use since 1864 and is now described as the standard of care, particularly in endodontics. Besides an aseptic and dry working site, it is credited with better visibility, soft tissue retraction, less rinsing, a lower risk of swallowing or inhaling a small part, and protection of the soft tissues from materials.
How the sheet, the frame and the clamp differ
- Rubber Dam Sheets — The part that covers the mouth and carries the hole.
- Frames — Holds the sheet open; it is not the part that grips the tooth.
- Clamps — The one part that is fixed to the tooth itself.
What to look at when choosing a rubber dam
Aerosol: studies have reported that dam isolation reduced bacterial aerosol contamination by up to 98.8 percent at one metre from the working site, and by up to 99.4 percent together with a pre-procedural antiseptic mouth rinse.
Latex: non-latex sheets are described as critical for patients with a latex allergy. Comfort: one trial found patient comfort similar between a conventional non-latex system and a prefabricated non-latex one.
