Fixation
Clamps Dental dam fit partly depends on how it is secured to the teeth. COLTENE makes fixation simple with both wingless and winged clamps. Winged clamps have projections at the jaws while wingless do not. Our aim is to accommodate application techniques with any dentist‘s style. Our dental dam clamps are manufactured from high quality stainless steel for greater durability.

Wingless clamps are positioned intra-orally first and then the dam is stretched over the clamp and tooth. Our wingless clamps are designated with a W for easy identification.
Winged clamps combine steps by placing the dam, clamp and frame simultaneously. Once applied, the dam is stretched off the wings of the clamp.
Four-Point Contact Select a clamp that will maintain four-point contact with the tooth’s proximal surfaces. The clamp is positioned with the bow on the distal of the tooth. Universal clamps can be used on the left and the right side of both the upper and the lower jaw. Both clamp jaws are equal.
