Split-Dam

In this video we demonstrate the application of a split-dam in the anterior region. 

A split-dam can be used in situations where there is a fixed orthodontic retainer that doesn’t interfere with your procedure and you don’t want to remove the wire. This type of isolation can be used when doing edge bonding after orthodontics or for minor repairs. Also perfect for veneer or crown preparations.

If the retainer does interfere, or the procedure is close to the gums, remove the retainer and go for a normal tooth by tooth isolation.
