Product overview
Rubber dam clamps: patterns, wings and numbering.
A rubber dam clamp anchors the dam to a tooth so it stays in place and the field stays isolated. The jaws are shaped to grip the neck of a specific tooth group, so a clamp for a lower molar is not interchangeable with one for an upper premolar. Most catalogues number clamps by tooth group.
Winged clamps have side wings that carry the dam sheet, so clamp and sheet can be placed together. Wingless clamps are placed first and the dam stretched over them. Each clamp has holes in the jaws for clamp forceps, so the forceps and clamp patterns should be specified together. Numbering varies between catalogues, so we match by drawing or reference piece.

What to confirm
Include these points in an enquiry or sample approval request:
- Tooth group and clamp number
- Winged or wingless
- Jaw form, from a drawing or sample
- Hole size for your clamp forceps
- Material and finish
- Quantity, set contents and packaging
Send the clamp numbers you currently use, or a sample of each. The same number can differ slightly between catalogues, so a reference piece avoids a mismatch.

Buyer FAQ
Rubber Dam Clamps: questions buyers ask.
What is the difference between winged and wingless clamps?
Winged clamps have side wings that carry the dam, so clamp and sheet can be placed together. Wingless clamps go on first and the dam is stretched over them.
How do I choose the right clamp?
Match it to the tooth group: anterior, premolar or molar. The catalogue number of your preferred pattern, or a reference clamp, is the safest basis for an order.
Do the clamps fit any clamp forceps?
The jaw holes are made to suit clamp forceps, but the size should be confirmed against the forceps you use.
Are rubber dam clamps reusable?
Stainless steel clamps are intended for repeated use, with cleaning and sterilisation following the user's validated procedure.
Do you supply OEM, private-label or bulk orders?
Yes. Numbering, marking and packaging can be agreed for private-label programmes, and clamps can be quoted as singles or as sets.
