Fast dams help maintain dry quadrant field

Anatomically shaped dams are used in place of cotton rolls to retract the cheek and tongue.

Practicon now distributes fast dam saliva ejectors.

Anatomically shaped fast dams are used in place of cotton rolls to retract the cheek and tongue while maintaining a dry field. They can be used when applying sealants or when a rubber dam is too cumbersome. Fast dams feature 17 suction holes along the perimeter to aspirate continuously.

Smooth rigid plastic construction will not collapse. Molded anatomical shape stabilizes position and frees hands by eliminating the need to hold evacuation instruments. Fast dams fit into standard saliva ejector valves and will not aspirate soft tissues.
