Dental dam, also called rubber dam, is a thin latex or nitrile square sheet. It’s one of the common dental products used in dental clinics or hospitals that is mainly designed to isolate the operation area (one or more teeth) from other areas of the mouth. Usually, dental professionals use it in the procedure of endodontic, when they handle the fixed prosthodontic (like crowns, bridges) or general restorative treatments. As is known to all, saliva always appears naturally and is one of the usual physiological reactions, which can’t be stopped by patients and out of control. However, it is the main interference that dentists need to face up to during dental procedures. Moreover, there may be blood appearing. For instance, filling materials should be kept dry during oral care. Then the adhesive may bond efficiently, making the filling more durable. In addition, the filling materials won’t fall into patients’ mouth that easily. Sometimes, in dental work, rubber dam is specially meant to be “isolation of moisture control”. That’s because the rubber dam help a lot to isolate the contamination of oral micro-organisms during root canal therapy.
