It can have a variety of functions such as: 1) to isolate the field of operation from the rest of the oral cavity; 2) to eliminate saliva; 3) to prevent the patient swallowing liquid/dental material; 4) to protect soft tissue from harmful solutions; and 5) to reduce risk of infection. This is a single-use device.
