Udg Rubber Dam Sheets
Features
Description
Udg rubber dam is used to define the operative field by isolating one or more teeth from the oral environment.
When excavating a deep carious lesion and risking pulpal exposure, the use of a rubber dam is strongly recommended to prevent pulpal contamination from oral fluids.
The dam eliminates saliva from the operating site and retracts the soft tissue.
In dentistry, the use of a rubber dam is sometimes referred to as isolation or moisture control.
