A dental clamp retractor includes tongue and cheek retractor portions separated by a clamp bow having an arcuate shape. A buccal extension arm extends laterally outward from the clamp bow to the cheek retractor portion. A buccal gauze holder is connected to the clamp bow by a flexible arm. The tongue retractor portion connects to the clamp bow by a lingual extension arm. A lingual gauze holder is connected to the clamp bow by a flexible arm. The cheek retractor portion may have a larger surface area than the tongue retractor portion and be formed of an elastomer. The buccal gauze holder and lingual gauze holder may be formed by clips. A dental procedure includes applying the dental clamp retractor to a patient to retract the tongue and cheek and hold gauze on a buccal and/or labial side of a tooth surface of the patient.

A holder for safely securing a gauze pad for use in a post-surgical area in the intraoral cavity of a patient in order to allow a blood clot to form in safe, hygienic and sanitary conditions. The holder provides a holding cavity wherein the gauze pad is secured and held. It also requires a handle section that allows the external control of the gauze pad by the patient. Embodiments having holding sections with different ergonomic shapes according to the particular position of the intraoral surgical area requiring placement of the gauze pad are described.

The invention is about a dental suction arrangement which removes saliva and other fluids from a person's oral cavity. The suction arrangement includes a suction tube (101) and an absorption body (111) to be placed in the oral cavity. The suction tube (101) includes a suction part (103) which is arranged in the absorption body (111) and which is equipped with hole members (104) communicating with the absorption body (111). According to the invention, the suction arrangement is made of elastically deformable material in order to adapt to the anatomical shape of the bottom of the mouth.
