Technical Details
Easy to Place
OpalDam and OpalDam Green resin barriers are easily expressed directly where they’re needed in the mouth via the simple syringe-and-tip delivery.
Easy to Remove
OpalDam and OpalDam Green resin barriers remove easily from the mouth. Simply use an explorer or other instrument to cleanly break the cured resin from undercuts and discard.
Perfect for In-Office Whitening Procedures…
When whitening agents with higher concentrations of hydrogen peroxide are used, they can irritate the gingiva. Expressing a ribbon of OpalDam or OpalDam Green resin barriers along the gingival margin protects the soft tissues, keeping them comfortable during treatment.
...and So Much More!
In addition to the traditional use with whitening procedures, OpalDam and OpalDam Green resin barriers are extremely versatile and can be used:
- To prevent saliva leakage around the rubber dam clamp
- To help hold a matrix in place around a severely compromised tooth
- To protect the soft tissue from air abrasion
- Any time you’re using a harsh chemical near the tissue

Procedures
OpalDam Resin Barrier Application
See Instructions for Use for complete instructions, warnings, and precautions.
Step 1
Apply OpalDam resin barrier 4–6 mm wide on the gingiva. Seal interproximal spaces. Overlap resin approximately 0.5mm onto dry enamel to seal. Extend resin one tooth beyond last tooth whitened. Light cure with a scanning motion for 20 seconds.
Step 2
Remove cured resin quickly and easily in one piece or a few large pieces. Check interproximally for retained resin. OpalDam and OpalDam Green resin barriers are designed to remove easily from embrasures and undercuts.
