KSK Clamp 30, Wingless Lower Left Molar, Black

KSK 30 · wingless · lower left molar · black

A buccal projection that sits in the furcation – lower left

Subgingival margins on a lower molar are where clamps stop working, because there is nothing above the gingiva left to hold. The 30 carries a projection on the buccal beak that slips into the furcation, so the clamp locates on anatomy rather than on a margin that has gone. It is handed: this is the lower LEFT clamp, paired with the No.31 for the lower right.

This item: 1 × KSK rubber dam clamp No.30, wingless, black, lower left
Made by Dentech, Japan · Black finish · supplied singly

› The other side is the No.31, lower right. They are not interchangeable.
› Also for deep margins: the W8A grips a subgingival part of the crown without engaging the furcation.
› Seal around it with Cerkamed rubber dam liquid – a resin barrier for the gap a subgingival clamp leaves.

Does the projection reach a furcation that is not exposed?
It is drawn to slip into the furcation where the anatomy is available to it. On a tooth with an intact cervical contour the standard lower molar clamps – the 7A for instance – are the better choice.

How do I tell 30 from 31 on the tray?
They mirror each other, which is exactly why they are worth keeping on a labelled clamp stand rather than loose in a drawer.
