- Specialized, highly effective cotton roll substitutes engineered to maintain absolute isolation and moisture control inside the oral cavity during various dental procedures
Uses
- Alternative to Rubber Dams:
- Acts as an effective moisture-barrier replacement for rubber dams in many standard clinical procedures where full isolation is difficult or unnecessary
- Posterior Area Work:
- Specifically placed over the buccal mucosa to simplify and facilitate procedures occurring far back in the oral cavity
- Clinical Dental Procedures:
- Extensively used during high-moisture-sensitive applications including:
- Taking crown, bridge, or diagnostic impressions
- Composite fillings and resin restorations
- Cementation of crowns, veneers, and bridges
- Orthodontic bracket and band bonding
- Fissure sealing and paint-on fluoride applications
Features
- 30x Absorption Capacity:
- Engineered with micro-absorptive technology capable of holding 30 times its own weight in saliva
- Polyethylene Backing Film:
- Features a protective outer film that shields the parotid orifice and buccal mucosa from accidental nicks or cuts by high-speed dental burs
- Non-Shedding Materials:
- Manufactured using a double-tricot nylon fabric that does not shed loose fibers or leave fuzzy residues in the patient's mouth
- Flexible Tapered Design:
- Formulated to accommodate standard jaw movements and muscle shifts within the cheek
- Adult Large Size:
- Specifically contoured for adult anatomies to maximize coverage over the parotid gland
- Moisture Retention Integrity:
- Designed so it does not lose its shape, leak, or bleed moisture backward when handled by dental tweezers or forceps
Benefits
- Saves Chair Time:
- Outlasts traditional cotton rolls by a margin of 5 to 6 to one, eliminating the need for clinicians to constantly stop procedures to swap out saturated isolation materials
- Maintains a True Dry Field:
- Unrivaled parotid control prevents contamination of bonding agents, resulting in stronger bond strengths and fewer restoration failures
- Enhanced Patient Comfort:
- Safely stays securely in place without sliding, and its flexible composition moves with the patient rather than digging into the soft tissue
- Pain-Free, Safe Removal:
- It releases cleanly from the delicate inner cheek tissue simply by applying a light water spray, preventing painful tissue pulling or tearing upon removal
