Best Root Canal Rubber Dam Tip

[mcjanesi]

I also do the "tearing of the rubberdam" to help me re-orient it after taking a radiograph. But instead of tearing it, I use my rubberdam punch to punch a hole on the upper left corner. Cleaner and easier :)

Hey doc! Great video! My unsolicited 2 cents. My setup includes a nylon rubber dam frame and I never take the frame off to take X-rays. This is more efficient and maintains isolation! No more fumbling with reorienting the dam after X-rays!

I got a trick! We used to be taught to tie the rubber dam up using a floss after you remove the frame (like Santa Claus's gift bag). But it was cumbersome and the knot usually loosens. I recently came up with using another rubber dam clamp to clamp down the "rubber dam bag opening". I will collect the 4 corners and fold/roll them up into thickness, makes it easy to clamp. Works like a charm fast and easy.

How is this orikam Hyperlite compared to Vatech ?

[robsonovbob]

Aren't you supposed to leave the clamp on for radiographic proof of RD?

The bow always goes with the direction of the frame?

For lower and upper teeth?

[motivationwordscouldchange]

So this position of hole is suitable for all molar teeth upper and lower

[dentalkraftpak]

can easily take periapical without taking frame off from within the dam area

[balancebalance]

What do you mean top tooth? You mean upper teeth?

I make a mark on the corner to reprient it properly

Why not just mark the corner of the dam with a pen ....I put a small cross ....
