KSK 00 · winged · premolar · black
A standard premolar clamp on a narrow lower second premolar just rocks. The 00 is the narrowest bicuspid clamp Dentech make, with flat beaks and a light spring, and their catalogue lists it for deciduous anteriors as well as small premolars – two places where nothing else in the range will seat.
This item: 1 × KSK rubber dam clamp No.00, winged, black
Made by Dentech, Japan · Black finish · supplied singly
| Flat beaks | Four-point contact on a tooth with no undercut to speak of |
| Winged | Dam, frame and clamp go on as one assembly, in a single movement |
| Black finish | An unpainted oxide layer, not a coating – it kills the glare back from the operating light |
› One size up is the No.1, which has festooned beaks for a premolar with an exposed root.
› You will need clamp forceps, a Young's frame and the Ainsworth punch to punch the QED non-latex dam (40).
Will it hold on a deciduous tooth?
Dentech list the 00 for deciduous anteriors as well as small permanent bicuspids. For deciduous molars they make a separate numbered range.
How much can I open it?
Only as far as the tooth needs. Dentech's own safety instruction is not to expand a clamp more than necessary – over-spreading is what deforms and breaks them.
