Absorbent dental cotton rolls for moisture control and isolation in the oral cavity.

Cotton Roll Dental Size 1
Disposable cotton roll size 1 for dental applications. Highly absorbent cotton, evenly wound.
Cotton Roll Dental Size 3
Disposable cotton roll size 3 (large) for dental applications. For stronger absorption during extensive treatments.
Dental cotton rolls are placed in the vestibule or under the tongue to absorb saliva and keep the treatment field dry. That matters for fillings, impressions and fluoride treatments, as many materials only bond or set reliably on a dry tooth surface. Dental practices, dental clinics and orthodontists use them in large quantities.
The range comprises three sizes in cotton. Size 1 is 8 mm in diameter, size 2 is 10 mm and size 3 is 12 mm. The size 2 cotton roll is 100% pure cotton, 38 mm long, described as autoclavable and supplied in a resealable dispenser of 300. Sizes 1 and 3 come in bags of 300.
Typical applications
- Keeping the field dry for fillings and sealing
- Saliva control when taking impressions
- Fluoride application in preventive care
- Supporting and retracting cheek or tongue
What to look for when buying
Size depends on jaw, position and mouth size. Smaller rolls fit tight areas and children; size 3 is described as intended for stronger absorption during extensive treatments. Many practices keep two or three sizes on hand.
Also check packaging and minimum quantity. Size 2 comes in a resealable dispenser that stays hygienic at the chair and is available from 2,000 pieces. Sizes 1 and 3 come in bags of 300 from one bag, which suits practices that use these sizes less often.
