KSK Clamp DC-1, Winged Distal, Matt

Gets to the distal of a molar

The distal box on the last standing molar is the hardest surface in the mouth to isolate and see at the same time. The distal clamp is drawn to open that specific access – Dentech list it for molars in both the deciduous and permanent dentition, to reach the distal part of the tooth. Matt finished, so it does not throw the operating light back at you while you work into a shadow.

Is a distal clamp only for a terminal tooth?
That is where it earns its place. On a tooth with a neighbour behind it, a conventional molar clamp and a well-punched dam usually give better access.

Why matt rather than black?
Dentech supply this pattern in matt. Both matt and black are non-reflective; matt is sand-blasted steel, black is an oxide layer.
