KSK 212 · wingless · anterior · black
A Class V on an incisor is a tissue problem before it is a moisture problem. The 212 is the classic cervical retainer form: wingless, with offset beaks that compress the gingiva and hold it clear of a labial margin, so you can see and dry the part of the tooth you actually came for.
This item: 1 × KSK rubber dam clamp No.212, wingless, black
Made by Dentech, Japan · Black finish · supplied singly
| Gingival compression | Offset beaks that press the tissue away from a cervical margin |
| Wingless | Nothing over the labial surface – the whole point of the design |
| Anteriors | Incisors and canines |
› Holding the dam only? The No.9 is the plain anterior clamp.
› Stabilise the ends of a QED non-latex dam (40) with Wedjets.
› Protect the tissue and seal the gap with Cerkamed rubber dam liquid – the 212 opens a field, it does not seal one.
Does it need stabilising?
A cervical retainer sits on a conical tooth and is easy to dislodge. Many operators stabilise it with compound or putty once it is positioned.
Winged version?
No – the design is wingless deliberately. Wings would sit directly over the labial field it exists to expose.
