OptraDam is a modern isolation system that keeps the treatment area dry. It controls moisture, protects soft tissues, and makes adhesive steps more reproducible for more durable results. OptraDam was developed in our practice by Dr. Domonkos Horvath and brought to market with Ivoclar AG. Our practice is located in Jestetten, near Zurich.

OptraDam is an anatomically shaped rubber dam. Due to the built-in three-dimensional frame, OptraDam can be easily applied by one person and allows a full view of the working field.

Dry conditions. Stable results.
Bond strength and seal depend on isolation — that's why we rely on a system, not chance.

OptraDam is a patented innovation from our practice in Jestetten, which has been marketed worldwide since 2007 in collaboration with Ivoclar Vivadent. As a closed 3D cover for the oral cavity, it ensures complete drainage while also providing effective aspiration and aerosol protection. This feature has become even more important during the coronavirus pandemic.
With its 3D double-ring design, OptraDam completely seals off the throat, covers the lips and cheeks, and isolates individual teeth or groups of teeth through targeted perforation. It thus complements OptraGate, which is used for relative dry field, and creates a completely germ-free treatment environment.
The elastic ring construction supports mouth opening, protects the lips and mucous membrane, and makes even longer treatments comfortable.
OptraDam offers an optimal view of the working area, protects against chemicals and mechanical irritation, and facilitates precise treatments, especially when compared to systems that are less anatomically adapted.
In endodontics in particular, OptraDam relieves assistants of the task of holding lips and cheeks. This allows them to concentrate fully on material and instrument management, while the procedure remains calmer and less stressful for both the patient and the team.
In addition to drying, OptraDam prevents the swallowing or aspiration of instruments or materials. At the same time, it reduces the risk of virus transmission by effectively retaining aerosols.
OptraDam combines drying, aspiration protection, and infection control in one system, thus sensibly expanding the range of applications for OptraGate.
