Invisible dam

Abstract

The present invention relates to a transparent dental dam designed to enhance the safety and efficiency of dental procedures by providing superior safety, comfort isolation, and protection. It features a flexible barrier sheet made from a transparent proprietary elastomeric silicone material, which can be custom perforated to fit around individual teeth. The dental dam is used in combination with a tension clamp or ring to secure it firmly in place, along with a peripheral frame that maintains the barriers' position and structural integrity. This design prevents the aspiration of debris, reduces the risk of choking, gagging, and swallowing dental materials, and minimizes bacterial contamination from saliva. By addressing the limitations of traditional dental dams, the invention offers a more adaptable, secure, and comfortable solution, improving both patient safety and procedural effectiveness.
