Slide 3: Introduction
Introduction • Rubber Dam isolation is not a universal practice • UK 1990 study – 70% of professionals never used it & most used it for Endodontic treatmentonly* • Failure to protect patients may result in gross professional neglect * Marshall, K (1990) “The use of rubber dam in the UK”, British Den
Slide 4: History of Rubber Dam
History of Rubber Dam • Rubber Dam appeared in literature from 1860 onwards within the US market • Cohesive gold was the restorative material of choice but required complete isolation • Amalgam brought about change – isolation not required and clinicians worked in “wet field” – rubber dam went into
Slide 5: Why Use Rubber Dam?
Rubber Dam - Why Use Rubber Dam? • Isolation during dental procedures - Restorative & Endodontic treatments particularly • Infection control • Improved access and visibility • Improved patient acceptance • Patient protection from debris, caustic materials (phosphoric acid, sodium hypochlorite), lost
Slide 6: Rubber Dam - Misconceptions
Rubber Dam - Misconceptions • Limited patient acceptance – this statement is not backed by scientific findings! • Not perceived as being user-friendly • Technique sensitive – embarrassment of technique failure • Time and cost of placement – however, placement must become a team effort between dental
Slide 7: Rubber Dam - The Facts
Rubber Dam - The Facts*! • Rubber Dam takes a few minutes to apply but offers enormous benefits • Essential for complete moisture control • Will improve visibility & protect the buccal, labial and lingual areas within oral cavity – This will lead to increased effectiveness & efficiency of the proced
Slide 8: Rubber Dam - Other Dental Benefits
Rubber Dam - Other Dental Benefits • Elimination of patient saliva contamination - scientific evidence states micro-organisms are the main cause of Endodontic failure • Limited cross contamination of bacteria - clinicians can concentrate on actual procedure rather than worrying about contamination e
Slide 9: Rubber Dam Placement Procedures
Rubber Dam Placement Procedures • Placement Procedures will depend on the following: – Tooth to be treated – Procedure to be undertaken, e.g. Endodontic, Restorative – Personal preference • Important – clinician must punch hole or holes in the right place • The rubber dam material should be over the
Slide 10: Rubber Dam Placement Procedures
Rubber Dam Placement Procedures • A four-point contact on the tooth must be established for clamp to be retentive • A WINGED clamp can be retained on the rubber dam sheet and carried with a napkin and frame to the tooth – ideal for teeth with intact and retentive shapes • A WINGLESS clamp, with flos

Slide 16: HandiDam Features and Benefits
HandiDam™ Features and Benefits • Medical grade rubber latex, limited powder, vanilla scented – Gives flexibility and good tensile strength that helps minimise tearing – Medium weight 0.24mm thick, so not too difficult to stretch – Provides reassurance – Patient-friendly • No pre-punched holes incre
Slide 17: Ash Rubber Dam Clamps
Ash Rubber Dam Clamps • 17 clamps in total ~ complete range gives clinician excellent choice • Two types of clamps available – Winged clamps – Wingless clamps (wingless = marked W)

Slide 20: Ash Rubber Dam Frames
Ash Rubber Dam Frames • Rubber Dam Frames – 2 available – Stainless steel – Young’s Style – Plastic – an extremely lightweight, hinged frame that offers comfort for the patient and ease of use – The plastic frame is preferable with Endodontic procedures because of the need to take radiographs • Both
Slide 21: Ash Rubber Dam Punches
Ash Rubber Dam Punches • Ash Rubber Dam Punches – Ainsworth - 5 hole punch – Single hole - Large hole (1.93mm) & Regular hole (1.63mm) • A good hole punch is essential for effective placement of rubber dam • Caution: if the punch does not cut cleanly, the dam is likely to tear as it passes through c
Slide 22: Ash Rubber Dam Forceps
Ash Rubber Dam Forceps • Made from high quality stainless steel • 2 types available – Brewer Clamp Forceps - bent/offset arms – Washington Clamp Forceps - straight arms (UW) • Ash Instruments most popular Clamp Forceps is the Washington Clamp Forceps
