EZ DAM®PARTS DESCRIPTIONS
The bite blocks
The bite blocks come in 5 different sizes Small, Small-Medium, Medium, Large and
X-Large. The Small size bite block is great for children under 12 years of age. The Small-
Medium bite block is ideal for small framed patients, especially females and teenagers.
Medium, Large and X-Large bite blocks are fitted mostly for males. The way you gauge
the bite blocks is to size the block to roughly 2/3 to 3/4 of a full mouth opening. One
of the benefits of the EZ DAM®system is that the bite blocks are interchangeable
quickly so you can easily size up the patients. You can sterilize the ones you’ve tried in,
in order to be ready for the next patient.
The core
The core is the connector that is the heart of the
EZ DAM®system. You attach the bite block,
mouthpiece and suction hose to it in order to
configure the system for use. Make sure that you
have the right orientation while assembling the
system. (see Installation & Use #2)
The suction hose
The suction hose comes with a control valve for
suction at the top end so you can control the
suction strength right at the oral cavity. On the
other end of the hose is a high volume suction
adaptor so it can easily be inserted into the
HVAC to commence working with EZ DAM®.
This allows the EZ DAM®system to easily be
used and shared in several operatories. At the
other end there is a nylon stopper around the
hose to provide more width for mounting support.
