Ivoclar Vivadent Optradam Plus Assortment Rubber Dam Kit

The Ivoclar Vivadent Optradam Plus Assortment Rubber Dam Kit provides absolute isolation of the working field for a range of dental procedures. This kit is designed to establish a completely dry treatment field, which is essential for precise and aseptic dental procedures. It is suitable for use in therapeutic dental procedures requiring an absolutely dry and isolated working field, including direct adhesive restorations of teeth, indirect adhesive luting, endodontic treatment, X-rays, and cosmetic and prophylactic treatments such as in-office bleaching and fissure sealing.

OptraDam Plus is crafted from natural rubber latex, featuring a flexible, three-dimensional, and anatomically shaped design that differentiates it from conventional rubber dams. This design ensures an automatic hold in the oral cavity as the dam is stretched in an oral direction, and it incorporates an integrated metal-free frame for ease of placement. The kit includes an assortment of "Regular" and "Small" sizes to accommodate diverse clinical scenarios and patient needs.

This system contributes to reducing the spread of aerosols in the dental practice, enhancing safety and protection for patients.

Use dental floss or an instrument to help seat the dam between contact points if necessary.
Secure the Dam
Adjust the integrated flexible frame so that the dam stays taut and properly positioned.
Ensure the dam provides a good seal around the isolated area.
