I hate rubber dam. Today was my practical exam I struggled to insert it for 30 mins it got ripped as well and that gave me an anxiety attack. Which resulted in terrible tooth preparation and restoration.

I remember struggling during dental dam day as well; these dentists and dental assistants make it look so easy! I'm still relatively new in the industry, and it really seems like a "practice makes perfect" situation. Luckily, many of my coworkers have had some great advice and tips that they've used to make things easier. If you're able, don't hesitate to ask around fellow practitioners for tips they've learned over the years! :)

When I attended dental school beginning 44 years ago at Georgetown University they had strictly enforced rubber dam policy that basically required all operative procedures to be performed with rubber dam isolation and that isolation was graded before one could pick up a handpiece. If the rubber dam did not provide effective isolation the dam was removed and replaced until; it was properly placed. 44 years later I find placement of a rubber dam rather simple in most cases. I feel empathy for dentists that were not required to learn how to effectively place a rubber dam and have developed an aversion to it's use for zero good reasons. . When I am treating a patient with a rubber dam in place I relax and enjoy my task. Occasionally utilization of a rubber dam is not effective or easy to place. This is when I revert to using and Isodry or Garmers cotton roll holder.I am glad these options exist. I can treat patients for many hours without any stress if the operative field is well isolated and I am confident I can bond restorative materials without the distraction of being concerned that the surface of the teeth becomes contaminated with saliva or blood. If one is able to ignore the negative effects of contamination with blood or saliva during a resin bonded procedure I suppose good isolation is not a priority.

hi doctor romero please i have some questions ,(1)Do you anasthetise the tooth that recieves the abutment clamp ? (2) Is the bite block necessory ? (3) If the patient closes his mouth a bit , the dam would tear ? (4) If we are working on the most posterior tooth , the dam wont affect the drilling ? especially endodontics. thanks !
@jotham973 жыл бұрын
My answers, in case they help: 1. Not always, if the work is minimal and you ensure the clamp is not impinging the gingiva, you do not always need to anaesthetise the tooth on which the clamp will be placed. I find it useful to try in the clamp on the tooth before fitting the entire rubber dam to ensure a good and comfortable fit. 2. No, I prefer not to have anything underneath the clamp that could be a choking hazard. If the patient requests it or it is a long appointment, I may place a bite block with floss attached to it for easy retrieval. 3. I've never had a dam tear because a patient bit down. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever had a patient try to bite down with the rubber dam on. 4. Yes, the clamp can stop the head of the highspeed/slowspeed handpiece from reaching the ideal position. In these cases, you might have to alter your clamp choice, bur choice, or see if you can prepare the tooth from a different angle.

It's one of those things that I was taught to do in my course, but it seems to be executed differently in practice. That being said, *most* dentists I've worked with use floss for safety; but definitely not all. It makes me nervous not using the floss, but different folks, I guess.

@sl1p3403 жыл бұрын
@@VancouverGranny12 sorry for the late response the idea is to use a dental floss inside the holes of the clamp and tie it around the clamp till the next hole then to tie it inside the next hole afterwards we just take the floss and but it to the side of the patient so if the patient choked on the clamp we could simply just pull it out by pulling the floss out.

For endodontics you would isolate the single tooth you are working on. For other clinical treatments you may need multiple teeth isolated such as: composite restorations, cementation of indirect restorations which require a dry working field etc etc
@ylvavarsdottir80813 жыл бұрын
From what I've learned in the industry so far, the rule of thumb is to only punch one hole for a tooth if it's being endodontically treated, otherwise, punching one distal and three mesial is a safe bet for general restorations. That being said, I've seen folks who prefer to punch holes for the entire quadrant. I guess it mostly just depends on the dentist's preference.

@jotham973 жыл бұрын
It makes life a lot easier. We don't have to worry about pulling aside the cheek or tongue to see what we are working on. Furthermore, it prevents any of our water going down the patients throat, and prevents any of their saliva from contaminating the surface we are working on. Modern dental materials used for fillings are sensitive to moisture and will not stick to the tooth well if saliva gets in between them and the tooth before they are set, meaning that there is a higher risk for the filling to fall out, or for decay to creep in underneath the filling.

You can place some Vaseline/lubricant on the rubber dam sheet holes. Also, don't punch your holes with too much spacing in between them, the more space there is the harder it will be to get it past the contact. Ideally, you want to stretch the sheet and the holes so that the dam "flosses" through the contact points.
