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
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.
Moisture control is critical to the efficacy and success of various dental procedures, especially resin sealants [1,2]. Properly applied sealants provide effective protection against caries; however, the surface to be treated must be clean and dry [1,3].
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.
