The dentist can select the proper rubber dam clamp by using a method that is based on measurement of the tooth. Three manufacturers supplied clamps for which the mesiodistal dimensions of the buccal and lingual jaws were measured. In a clinical situation, the dentist would measure the buccal and lingual aspects of the tooth and select the clamp that most closely approximates the size of the tooth. A close fit of the clamp on the proximal corners and surfaces of the tooth ensures its retention.

After 2 weeks of daily subcutaneous medication with chloroquine the order of increasing tissue concentrations in the English guinea pig was generally: plasma, muscle, heart, liver, spleen, eye, lung, and kidney. The level of ascorbic acid intake did not significantly affect the ocular concentration of the drug, nor did it significantly alter the tissue to plasma concentration ratios, except in the muscle. The apparent overall effect of ascorbic acid in significantly decreasing the tissue retention of this drug might prove to be a valuable property.
