Suppra Dam is a light-cured resin barrier for isolation of gingival tissue. Suppra Dam has the proper viscosity and is colored to help when
applying. Before its light-cured, Suppra Dam is a paste and after its cured it becomes solid and insoluble to maintain adherence to the gingival
margins. During the whitening session, Suppra Dam does not allow direct contact of the whitening gel to gingival margins. Once the whitening procedure is done, the barrier can be removed.

Package containing: one syringe of NET WT. 0.07 OZ(2 g) and three disposable applicator tips.

Suppra Dam Composition:  HEMA, monomers of urethane di-methacrylate, inert load filler, pigments and phot initiators

.
Suppra Dam  indication; The main indication for the product is to isolate gingival tissue during in-office whitening sessions,
blocking the contact of the whitening gel. The product is also indicated to provide better sealing for total dam isolation, closing gaps that could occur.
Precautions and contraindications The product must not be applied to unhealthy gingival tissue that is infected or inflamed.

Incomplete curing of the product can lead to gingival irritation. Similar irritant effect may be noticed if the product is left uncured on gingiva for long periods of time. If a major reaction is noticed, discontinue treatment. Do not reuse the syringe after finishing the product.

Suppra Dam,  should not be used on patients with known allergy to any of the components in the formula; specially methacrylate’s. If any reaction
occurs, refer patient to medical attention. Side Effects

Suppra Dam, contains methacrylate monomers which can cause allergic reactions or slight irritations in patients who are sensitive to these
components. During light-curing process the local temperature rises causing a slight sensation of heat or burning sensation on the gingiva.

Instructions for use

1. For better access to the oral cavity, use a lip retractor. Dry the gingival tissue and teeth to be protected.
2. With the applicator tip attached to the Suppra Dam syringe, apply a thin layer of the product (thickness of 1 – 1.5 mm) on the gingival margins
   and interdental papilla to completely cover the areas. Suppra Dam must cover about 0.5 mm of enamel to avoid infiltration of fluids to the gingival sulcus. If there is exposed dentin, it should also be covered.
3. Light cure* each segment of Suppra Dam – corresponding to 3 teeth – for 20 to 30 seconds with scanning motion. It is advisable to light cure
   the product right after application to avoid eventual irritation caused by the uncured resin.
4. After applying, make sure Suppra Dam covers all the gingival margins and that it is completely cured and attached to gingiva. Use a dental mirror to evaluate the application from different angles. If a gap is noticed, add more Suppra Dam and light cure it.
5. Only remove Suppra Dam after the whitening gel is totally removed from teeth (use saliva ejector and then water spray). Then, use a round instrument (to avoid injuries) to lift and detach Suppra Dam from the gingiva. The product should come off in big pieces.

*Consider using a light-curing device with minimum power of 450 mW/cm2 emitting blue light with wavelength of 400-500 nm.
