Splendid Isolation: a Practical Guide to the Use of Rubber Dam Part 1. Abstract: Rubber dam isolation is generally considered to be the optimal method of moisture control in dentistry and is taught at the majority of dental schools worldwide.
To achieve adequate moisture control, retraction cord isolation should be used in conjunction with salivation control. A properly applied retraction cord improves access and visibility
How is moisture control important? 1. Patient related factors Provides comfort. Protects from swallowing or aspirating foreign bodies. 2. Task/technique being performed Dental materials are moisture sensitive, success of adhesion and physical properties relies on a dry field. 3. Operator related factors
Control of moisture is critical for retention of sealants, which can reduce the incidence of caries in high-risk groups. Objectives: We investigated the safety and eficacy of the novel SS-suction de-vice in the laboratory and a small clinical trial in children aged 6 to 8-years-old.
Direct restorative dentistry procedures, also referred to as “fillings,” restore teeth by employing amalgam or resin composite materials. Indirect methods use the lab prepared restorations. Controlling moisture and microbes are likely the two most crucial variables for successful repairs.
Excellent moisture control. 3⁄4 It acts as a physical barrier between the selected operator field and the oral cavity, which prevents saliva, blood, gingival crevicular fluid, humid exhaled...
Isolating the tooth to be restored from the contamination of moisture or saliva in restoration placement may promote the bonding of the restorative materials to the tooth, while rubber dam usage is highly recommended for endodontics for reasons of safety and cross‐infection control.
