What kind of rubber dam retainers are recommended when the anchor tooth is partially erupted?

  1. A. retainers with prongs directed gingivally.
  2. B. winged retainers.
  3. C. retainers such as W2 with small jaws.
  4. D. retainers with classic, non-inverted prongs.
  5. E. retainers such as W7 with big jaws.
Hint

A partially erupted tooth has little clinical crown above the gingiva, so the clamp must grip below the gingival margin.
