KSK 2A · winged · premolar · black
The commonest clamp failure is not the wrong shape, it is the wrong span. The 2A is Dentech's answer one size above the No.2: flat beaks, a little wider, and listed for upper as well as lower bicuspids – the clamp to reach for when the No.2 seats but rotates.

Made by Dentech, Japan · Black finish · supplied singly
| Wider span | A little bigger than the No.2, per Dentech |
| Upper and lower | Bicuspids in both arches |

› Same clamp, wingless – the W2A, when you want to watch the beaks seat.
› Smaller: the No.2. Smallest: the No.00.
› Frame, dam, punch: Young's frame, QED non-latex dam (40), Ainsworth punch.
How do I know the span is wrong?
A clamp of the right span sits still under light finger pressure on the bow. One that is too small rides up the crown; one that is too large rocks buccolingually.
Winged or wingless for a premolar?
Winged is quicker – dam, frame and clamp go on together. Wingless gives a clear view of the beaks, which matters when the margin is close to the gingiva.
