Assistance in working with cofferdam
Cofferdam is a system of devices designed to isolate the area of oral dental surgery. The kit includes the following components: rubber kerchiefs, frame, tongs, clamps, forceps for clasps, a template.
There are several ways to establish a cofferdam on the teeth. In accordance with the first method, the shawl and the fixing clamp are applied to the tooth simultaneously. After applying the system, the doctor adjusts the position of the shawl with a trowel. In accordance with the second method, the application of the fixing clamp precedes the application of the cofferdam scarf. In accordance with the third method, the fixing clamp is not used. In the tooth area, the transitional fold is filled with a cotton swab and a cofferdam scarf is applied. It is possible to apply a clammer after the cofferdam headscarf.
Help with saliva ejector, vacuum cleaner
Saliva ejector and vacuum cleaner are a system in which the return draft of air ensures the extraction of certain liquids from the oral cavity. The saliva ejector extracts saliva from the oral cavity, which is necessary to ensure the isolation of the working field, to create the convenience of the dentist. In some cases, it is difficult to position the saliva ejector in the oral cavity, or evacuation of saliva should be carried out in a specific area of the oral cavity. In this case, the dentist needs assistance from an assistant or in the absence of a nurse.
Vacuum cleaner is a device to prevent the ingestion of mucosal solutions of acids used during operation. For example, it is used for washing in the process of filling a carious cavity with a dressing containing a solution of phosphoric acid.
Help in mixing materials involves mixing in the physician's preparedness of the ratio of the material components.
