Remedy for dental dam leakage problems.
Denture adhesive paste is a very sticky adherent substance. When combined with zinc oxide powder, a creamy mixture results. This provides an ideal caulking substance to use as a sealing material during endodontic procedures where leakage of oral fluids is anticipated or has occurred after dental dam placement. Requirements for an ideal leakage preventative are listed.
