Study Notes
Isolation of the Operating Field
- Isolation is used to control the operating field, specifically moisture control (saliva, blood), and visibility for retracting soft tissues (lips, cheeks, gingivae, tongue).
- Moisture control is essential for a clear view and to prevent unwanted substances from interfering with procedures.
- Saliva, blood, and other fluids need to be managed to allow visibility.
- Microorganisms are managed as well.
Types of Isolation
- Relative Isolation: Protects the operating field from saliva only; cannot protect from other harmful substances like blood, cervical fluid, and water vapor.
- Absolute Isolation (Rubber Dam): Completely isolates the operating field from all oral fluids.
Instruments for Relative Isolation
- Cotton rolls
- Parotid rolls
- Saliva ejectors
- High volume evacuators (exhaustors)
- Cotton roll holders
- Lip retractors
Indications for Relative Isolation
- Temporary filling placement
- Amalgam fillings
- Glass ionomer cement (GIC) fillings
- Crown cementation with GIC
- Gold inlay/onlay cementation with GIC
- Bleaching
- Scaling
- Other procedures (various)
Placement of Cotton Rolls
- Upper Arch: Cotton roll placed next to the prepared tooth in the buccal vestibule, near the parotid duct.
- Lower Arch: Cotton rolls placed next to the prepared tooth, buccal and lingual, and one in the upper buccal vestibule near the parotid duct.
Parotid Rolls
- Maxillary Anterior: Small-sized rolls placed on either side of labial frenulum.
- Mandibular Anterior: Small-sized rolls placed on either side of mandibular labial frenulum and next to the tongue.
Cotton Roll Holders
- Stabilize cotton rolls in place.
- Made of metal or plastic.
- Offer better accessibility and visibility.
High Volume Evacuator (HVE) Tips
- Effective for removing large volumes of fluid and particles from the oral cavity.
- Metal tips are autoclavable; plastic tips are disposable.
Low Volume Evacuator (Saliva Ejector Tip)
- Effective for removing smaller volumes of fluid from the oral cavity.
- Can be positioned under the tongue or in other areas of the mouth.
- Can be metallic or plastic.
Lip and Cheek Retractors
- Offer excellent accessibility to an extended field.
- Made of soft and flexible material (e.g., Evoprene).
Absolute Isolation (Rubber Dam)
- Isolates the operating field completely from all oral fluids (bleeding, saliva, gingival fluid).
- Control every type of bodily fluid present in the mouth.
Instruments for Absolute Isolation
- Rubber sheet
- Rubber dam frame (various types: heavy, medium, thin)
- Rubber dam clamps (molar, pre-molar, frontal/front)
- Clamp forceps (to expand the diameter of inner clamps)
- Hole puncher (Ainsworth, Ivory)
- Rubber dam template
- Other instruments (dental floss, Heidemann dental spatula)
