Study Notes
Isolation of the Operating Field
- Isolation is used to maintain a controlled operating field
- Moisture control is crucial (saliva, blood)
- Accessibility and visibility to treat soft tissues (lips, cheeks, gingiva, tongue) are essential
- Types of isolation include relative and absolute
Types of Isolation
- Relative Isolation: Protects the operating field from saliva only
- Absolute Isolation (Rubber Dam): Protects the operating field from all fluids (saliva, blood, fluids, water vapor)
Relative Isolation Instruments
- Cotton rolls
- Saliva ejectors
- High-volume evacuators (exhaustors)
- Cotton roll holders
- Lip retractors
Relative Isolation Indications
- Temporary filling placement
- Amalgam fillings
- Glass ionomer cement (GIC) fillings
- Cementation of crowns with GIC
- Bleaching
- Scaling
- Other procedures
Absolute Isolation Instruments
- Rubber sheet
- Rubber dam frame
- Molar clamp
- Pre-molar clamp
- Front clamp
- Clamp forceps
- Hole punch
- Other instruments
