Abrégé

A dental isolation block adapted for maintaining the mouth of the dental patient open, white keeping the work field dry and exposed with the lip retracted and the tongue suppressed to facilitate performance of a dental procedure by a dental practitioner. The dental isolation block includes a first and second bite platform capable of being disposed between the maxillary arch and mandibular arch, a lip retractor with a first end adjacent the first bite platform and a second end adjacent the second bite platform, and a tongue shield extending between the first and second bite platform. The lip retractor may include a channel for receiving and directing saliva to a suction drain and suction holes all in fluid communication with a dental office suction system. A suction extension may be affixed to the first and/or second bite platform to further evacuate saliva from entering the work field.
