The only rubbery stuff that comes to mind is:

(1) "Rubber Dam", a sheet of thin rubber about 5" square, that's used to isolate a tooth from the rest of the mouth, so that you can do clever things to it without it getting soaked in saliva

(2) "Wedgets" which is the tradename for a rubbery cord, about 2.5mm in diameter and round in c/s, which is designed to be stretched thin, slid between 2 adjacent teeth, and then let recoil to its normal thickness, to hold the above "rubber dam" in place.

Both are relatively expensive, but I could probably steal you a bit of each if you thought they'd be useful
