Rubber dam isolation has been a key component in dentistry for 161 years since its development. Nowadays, isolation plays a crucial role in all dental specialties.

The innovative concept behind the ‘Mi control’ kit was to create a universal kit that includes all the necessary armamentarium for achieving control and excellence in all areas of contemporary dentistry. A universal isolation kit by a dentist for the dental community.
