Clinical Overview
Top Dam Green is a light-curing gingival barrier composite designed for relative soft-tissue isolation during in-office bleaching or other procedures. Offered as a resin alternative to rubber dam, it provides efficient sealing over gingival papillae and margins with minimal flow and irritation.
Key Benefits
- Light-cure simplicity: Easily cures within 20–30 s for rapid clinical workflow.
- Excellent sealing & adhesion: Thin viscosity and thixotropic resin form a tight barrier over gums.
- Patient-friendly removal: Detaches in one piece without residue or tissue trauma.
- High comfort & control: Doesn’t irritate soft tissues and allows clear visibility of bleaching gel.
- Color contrast: Green shade enhances visibility versus whitening gel for precise placement.
Kit Contents
- 1 × 2 g syringe of light-curing gingival barrier resin (green shade)
- 3 × self-mixing applicator tips for precise dispensing
Working & Setting Times
- Working time: Apply thin layer (≤ 1 mm) over dry gingiva and papillae; viscous resin stays localized.
- Setting: Light-cure for 20–30 seconds immediately after application.
Indications
- Relative isolation of gingival tissues during in-office tooth whitening (especially with high-concentration peroxide)
- Auxiliary sealing when rubber dam is not indicated or not required
Instructions for Use
- Thoroughly dry the gingival tissues and adjacent teeth in the target area.
- Dispense a thin layer (max 1 mm) of the resin onto the gingiva and papillae, ensuring full coverage.
- Light-cure with dental curing light for 20–30 seconds immediately after application.
- Proceed with bleaching gel application or other in-office procedure.
- After treatment, remove the barrier by gently pulling it forward—it will detach cleanly in one piece.

This gingival barrier offers a clinician-friendly, light-curing resin solution for securing gingival protection during in-office whitening.
