    Abstract: A rubber dam frame may be used to isolate a tooth or teeth during a dental procedure. The rubber dam frame includes a bendable support member. The bendable support member allows the dental practitioner to adjust the device to be more comfortable for the patient. In addition, the bendable support member and dam may be bent out of the way to allow the dental practitioner to have access to a portion of the patient's mouth to take an x-ray or for any other procedure. The frame includes barbs for holding a rubber sheet. The support member may be formed of aluminum or another malleable metal material. It may be anodized or otherwise surface treated.
