Successful restorations in dental patients depend largely on the effective control of moisture and microbes during the procedure. The rubber dam technique has been one of the most widely used isolation methods in dental restorative treatments.
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.
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.
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
