Rubber Dam Instrument
A Dental Rubber Dam is used mainly in endodontic treatment. The main function of the Rubber Dam Instruments is to isolate the tooth being treated from its environment, in particular from the bacteria in the oral cavity. The rubber dam is held over individual teeth or groups of teeth by appropriate rubber dam clamps or threads (ligatures) along the edge of the gum. The tooth crown stands out from the rubber dam through individual holes made by a whole punch.

- Prevention of inhalation and ingestion of foreign bodies
- Improved properties of dental material
- Aid to patient management
- Aid to cross infection control by reducing aerosol spread of micro-organisms.
- Minimization of mouth breathy during inhalation sedation procedures.
Disadvantage
- Usage in low amongst private pracitioners.
- Time consuming and patient objection.
