Rubber dam isolation is generally considered to be the optimal method of moisture control in dentistry and is taught at the vast majority of dental schools worldwide. Unfortunately, undergraduate training does not always translate into use in dental practice, with the majority of clinicians never using a rubber dam, even for endodontic procedures, where its use is regarded as the standard of care nationally and internationally. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased interest in the use of rubber dam as a highly effective infection control barrier. As professional and patient experience of rubber dam isolation is extremely limited, this paper, and the preceding one, are designed to support the practical training of clinical teams in the confident, skilful use of rubber dam. Part two provides a practical guide to rubber dam isolation techniques for endodontic and operative/restorative procedures. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Mastering rubber dam isolation will enhance patient care and be professionally rewarding for clinical teams. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
