Gingival Barrier Dam Step-by-Step Usage Guidelines

Step 1 – Apply

Dry the teeth and gingiva in the treatment area. Apply a thin layer (maximum 1 mm) over gingival margins and papillae to create complete coverage.

Step 2 – Light Cure

Light cure for 20–30 seconds immediately after placement to stabilize the barrier.

Step 3 – Remove

After the procedure, gently pull the material forward. The barrier detaches easily in one piece or large segments.
