Currently, it seems that those arguments against the use of rubber dams have not changed even though these views are not supported by recent literature. The results show that clinicians do not use the rubber dam because they believe it is challenging, time-consuming, cumbersome, and that patients will not accept it. Over the years, many researchers have investigated the reasons for the non-usage of the rubber dam and improvements that might lead to its acceptance. Despite the revived efforts to remind dentists of the importance of rubber dam, most clinicians today are mainly concerned with efficiency and profitability in the clinic. However, rubber dam usage decreased at the beginning of the 20th century partly because of the development of suction devices and silver amalgam. As a result, the use of cotton rolls and alcohol were recommended as isolation alternatives. The popularity of rubber dam use was described as widespread just three years later. The quality of tooth isolation is important to prevent leakage in both directions, the operation field and the oral cavity. Sanford Christie Barnum was the first clinician to use a thin piece of rubber in order to isolate teeth in 1869. Its use has been criticized for being time-consuming and costly, however, the placement of a rubber dam is fundamental for antisepsis and moisture control as well as protecting patients from inhalation of toxic materials. Following these methods, the clinician can achieve complete isolation, invaginate the rubber dam in the sulcus without causing tissues to bleed, and reduce the time needed for bonding procedures.Ī rubber dam is a device for the isolation of the working field and is commonly used for restorative and endodontic procedures. This step-by-step sequence may help the younger clinician in understanding how to gently manage soft tissue in order to properly provide complete isolation with rubber dam for future bonding of ceramic veneers. The present case report demonstrated the sequence and some clinical tips for a case in which the rubber dam is placed from a second premolar to the opposite second premolar and held with clamps, the rubber dam is gently invaginated into the sulcus, and clamps are selected and placed on each tooth to create an ideal situation for the adhesion of the ceramic veneer. However, it may be a challenge to the younger clinician to properly isolate teeth prior to bonding ceramic veneer. Rubber dam isolation provides several advantages to the clinician, such as preventing contamination of the working field by saliva, blood, and sulcular fluids, and improving direct visibility. Using the latest state of the art processing equipment, our vacuum press membranes are manufactured to the highest quality on calendered sheeting lines equipped with automated laser gauges for the tightest dimensional controls.It has been well-documented that uncontaminated ground enamel provides the most predictable substrate for the bonding of ceramic veneers, and thus conservative tooth preparation with complete isolation using a rubber dam is key to the long-term success of the restorations presented with five years of follow-up. This means the highest quality is guaranteed and something that we represent globally. It currently processes in excess of 5000 tonnes of silicone rubber each year whilst maintaining full quality control and material integrity at every stage of the process.
