Ainsworth Rubber Dam Punch

Ainsworth Rubber dam punch with adjustable hole diameter.

A rubber dam (dental dam) is used mainly in endodontic treatment. Its main function 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. The tooth crown stands out from the rubber dam through individual holes made by the Ainsworth punch.

Rubber Dam permits a clean and dry operative field and enables treatment of the appropriate tooth without contamination from blood or saliva. A rubber dam also protects the patient's airway from any materials that may fall into it during treatment.
