In modern dentistry, Rubber Dam is a must in every dental surgery. Its routine use will greatly contribute to success in many dental treatments. Rubber Dam takes a few minutes to apply but the benefits easily compensate. Rubber Dam is essential for complete moisture control, improved visibility and protection of the buccal, labial and lingual areas in the oral cavity. Increased visibility and protection enable the procedure to be carried out effectively and efficiently.

It is an intermediate restorative material. In a clinical study it was compared to other ZOE (Zinc Oxide- Eugenol) compositions and an EBA (Eugenol and o-ethoxybenzoic acid) formulation. Result: it was judged superior for both Class I and II restorations ( at one and two year observations). Handling characteristics IRM® powder and liquid should be mixed in less than one minute. The resulting putty consistency is then inserted into the cavity. If indicated, conventional methods of matrix application are appropriate.

Protaper® Universal Gutta Percha Points match the shape of the the Protaper® Universal Finishing FIles and are colour-coded for easy identification. The advanced Protaper® Universal Gutta Percha Points have been specifically designed for both cold and warm obturation techniques.

The AutoMatrix® System is indicated where placement of a matrix band around a prepared tooth will facilitate contouring of a direct placement of restorative material (class II preparations). AutoMatrix® metal bands are available in 4 different sizes: Medium-Thin, Narrow-Regular, Medium-Regular and Wide-Regular.
