PULPDENT PUTTY DAM protects soft tissue by creating a physical barrier. ## Device Story Pulpdent Putty Dam is a light-cured resin material used by dental professionals in clinical settings. The device is applied to soft tissue to create a physical barrier during dental procedures, specifically bleaching, air abrasion, and etching. By isolating the soft tissue, the device protects it from potential irritation or damage caused by the chemical or mechanical agents used in these procedures. The clinician applies the material, which is then cured using a light source to form a protective layer. After the procedure, the barrier is removed. The device benefits the patient by preventing accidental exposure of soft tissue to dental treatment agents. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Safety and effectiveness are supported by historical usage of similar materials over approximately 10 years and literature references (Reality, 2002). ## Technological Characteristics Light-cured resin material; functions as a physical barrier; applied manually by dental professionals; cured via light activation. ## Regulatory Identification A rubber dam and accessories is a device composed of a thin sheet of latex with a hole in the center intended to isolate a tooth from fluids in the mouth during dental procedures, such as filling a cavity preparation. The device is stretched around a tooth by inserting a tooth through a hole in the center. The device includes the rubber dam, rubber dam clamp, rubber dam frame, and forceps for a rubber dam clamp. This classification does not include devices intended for use in preventing transmission of sexually transmitted diseases through oral sex; those devices are classified as condoms in § 884.5300 of this chapter. ## Predicate Devices - ULTRA DENT OPAL DAM - DEN-MAT PAINT ON RUBBER DAM - PREMIER PERFECTA BLOCK OUT RESIN - SHOFU NIVEOUS LIQUID DAM - LUMA LITE LUMA BLOCK - INTERDENT FAST DAM - BriteSmile BARRIER MATERIAL ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
