Which clamp could you choose to give you increased access to a facial class V on #25?

Choosing the #212 clamp for increased access to a facial class V cavity on tooth #25 is an excellent decision based on the design and features of this specific clamp. The #212 clamp is known for its versatility and ability to securely hold a tooth while providing adequate access to a variety of cavity preparations, especially in posterior teeth like #25, which is a mandibular first molar.

The #212 clamp has a design that accommodates different tooth shapes and sizes, and its wings and prongs provide additional stability and visibility during the dental procedure. When working on class V restorations that are often located in areas where direct vision is limited, the configuration of the #212 allows for better access to the facial surfaces, ensuring that the operator can effectively work on the cavity without obstruction.

In contrast, other clamps may not offer the level of access or stability required for certain restorations. For example, some clamps have less adaptability or are designed for specific tooth types that may not provide the needed maneuverability or visualization during the procedure. Therefore, the #212 clamp is the optimal choice when aiming for improved access in such clinical situations.
