wny are rubber dams used?
to create a controlled operative field
advantages of rubber dam
aseptic environment
allows use of caustic intra-canal medicaments
controls saliva
retraction and protection of soft tissues
improves access and provides optimum visibility

why do we floss clamps?
if the clamp fractures we can retrieve the fragments

dam stretched over tooth first and then clamp applied
dam attached to winged clamp and applied to tooth together
dam placed over bow of wingless clamp and applied to tooth - then dam stretched over clamp
clamp on first and stretch dam over clamp
