Rubber Dam Isolation
In 1864, S.C.Barnum, a NY city dentist
introduced the rubber dam.
It is a flat thin sheet of latex/non-latex that is
held by a clamp and a frame, that is preferred
to allow the tooth/teeth to protrude through
the perforations, while all other teeth are
covered.
Rubber Dam Isolation
A.
B.
G.
Advantage
Act as a raincoat for the tooth.
Complete,long term moisture
control.
C. Maximizes access and visibility.
D. Clean dry field while working.
E. Protect lips,cheeks & tongue by
keeping them aside.
F. Reduces risk of cross contamination
esp. to root canal system
Prevents accidental swallowing or
aspiration of foreign bodies.
Improves the properties of dental
materials
Disadvantage
A. Takes time to be applied.
B. Communication with the patient
can be difficult.
C. Incorrect use may damage
porcelain crowns/gingival
tissues.
D. Insecure clamps can be
swallowed or aspirated.
H.
Contraindication:
 Asthmatic patients.
 Epilepsy and other motor disabilities.
 Allergic to latex
 Mouth breathers
 Presence of some fixed ortho app.
 A recently erupted tooth that does not retain
a clamp
 Extremely malpositioned teeth

Retract the soft tissues.
Available in metal and plastic.
isolationoftheoperative.pptx
Rubber Dam Punch
Rubber dam punch is used to make the holes in
the sheet through which the teeth can be
isolated.
The working end is designed with a plunger on
one side and a wheel on other side.
This wheel has holes of different sizes on the flat
surface facing the plunger.
The punch must produce a clean cut every time.
Rubber Dam Punch
Ainsworth type Ivory type
Rubber Dam Clamps
These are used to secure the dam to the
teeth, that are to be isolated.
These also minimally retract the gingiva
Subdivided into >Winged
>Wingless
Rubber Dam Clamps
Clamps without wings
Clamps with wings
Rubber Dam Template
It is an inked rubber stamp which helps in
marking the dots on the sheet according to
position of the tooth.
Holes should be punched according to arch
and missing teeth.
Rubber Dam Template
Accessories
• Dental Floss: It is used as flossing agent for
rubber dam in tight contact areas.
• Rubber Dam napkin: This is a sheet of absorbent
material placed between the rubber dam and
skin.
• Lubricant: A lubricant is applied in the area of
punch holes facilitates the passing of dam septa
through proximal contacts.
isolationoftheoperative.pptx
Application of Rubber Dam
1. Testing & lubricating the proximal
contacts
2.Punching the holes
3.Lubricating the dam
4.Selecting the retainer
5.Testing the retainers stability &
retaintion
6.Positioning the dam over the
retainer
7.Applying the napkin
8.Attaching the frame
9.Applying the anterior anchor
10.Passing the septa through the
contacts
11.Invert the dam interproximally
12.Inverting the dam Faciolingually
13.Confirming a properly placed
rubber dam
14.Checking for access & visibility
15.Inserting the wedges(optional)
RUBBER DAM APPLICATION TECHNIQUES.
⯈Clamp first technique.
⯈Wing technique
⯈Rubber first technique
⯈Bracket technique
CLAMP FIRST TECHNIQUE
Advantages:
⯈ It is two handed procedureore
⯈ It can be implemented with molar and premolar(single bracket), winged or wingless clamp
⯈ Excellent operative field visibility during placement
Disadvantages:
⯈ Inserting the clamp into the mouth before the dam is dangerous since it might be displaced (fasten
it with ligature)
⯈ The clamp is severely strained during placement
⯈ It cannot be used with double bracket clamps
isolationoftheoperative.pptx
WING TECHNIQUE
Advantage:
⯈ It is two handed procedure
⯈ It is safe procedure for the clamp engaged within the sheet hole; if it gets disengaged from the
plier there is no risk of falling into the oral cavity (swallowing or inhaling)
⯈ It is minimally invasive technique ; the patient does not feel the dentist’s hands in his/her mouth
Disadvantages:
⯈ It can be implemented with winged clamps only
⯈ Limited visibility on the target tooth
isolationoftheoperative.pptx
RUBBER FIRST TECHNIQUE
Advantages:
⯈ It is a clamp safe procedure when oral cavity is protected by the rubber sheet(no risk of
swallowing or inhaling)
⯈ Suitable for every clamp type
Disadvantages:
⯈ Invasive for the patient especially in posterior region
⯈ Limited visibility of the tooth to be clamped
isolationoftheoperative.pptx
BRACKET TECHNIQUE
Advantages:
⯈ It is two handed procedure
⯈ it is safe; the clamp is engaged within the sheet hole and it won’t fall into oral cavity should it
unfasten from the plier(swallowing or inhaling)
⯈Compatible with winged or wingless (wingless is better) premolar and molar (single bracket
clamp)
⯈ Excellent field visibility during clamping
Disadvantages:
⯈ Not compatible with anterior clamps(double bracket).
isolationoftheoperative.pptx
Removal of Rubber Dam
1.Cutting the septa
2.Remove the clamps
3.Remove the dam
4.Wiping the lips
5.Massage the tissue
6.Examining the dam
Cotton rolls
• Cotton rolls, gauze & cellulose wafers
absorbents are helpful for short period
of
isolation of the teeth especially where
rubber dam application is not possible.
• Usually placed in buccal & lingual sulcus
specially where salivary gland ducts exit, to as
to absorb saliva.
Throat Shield
• Throat shield is important specially when the
maxillary tooth is being treated.
• An unfold gauze is stretched over the tongue
and posterior part of the mouth.
• Avoid aspiration of restorations.
High volume evacuators & saliva ejector
• It is used to remove water from airrotor with
high suction speed.
• Also helps in retracting the soft tissues.
FAST DAM
⯈17 suction holes along the perimeter
ISOLITE SYSTEM
⯈Retraction,protection, aspiration, illumination
⯈Size: pediatric, adult small, medium, large
Mirror & evacuator tip retractor
• A secondary function of the mirror and
evacuator tip is to retract the cheek, lip &
tongue
Mouth prop
• Mouth prop is also used to establish &
maintain a suitable mouth opening, thus help
in tooth preparation of posterior tooth.
•It is placed on the opposite to treatment
side.
•Provides sufficient mouth opening for
longer times.
Cheek retractor
• They are used to expand the mouth opening.
• This is usually use when working on the
gingival border of upper & lower front teeth
and for the adjustment of orthodontic bands.
Air water syringe
• By air water syringe an air blast can be useful
to dry tooth and soft tissue during
examination or used during procedure.
Drugs
• The use of drugs to control salivation is rarely
indicated in restorative therapy, and is
generally limited to atropine.
• Contraindicated for nursing mothers, and
patients with glaucoma.
