Adana Private Oral and Dental Health Polyclinic Dentrum explained it for you.
It is a special rubber sheet developed in 1864 by the American dentist Dr. Sanford C. Barnum, and it has become an indispensable dental application in modern dentistry. This has led to the routine use of the rubber dam in developed countries.
Why Should We Use a Rubber Dam?
The rubber dam isolates the tooth almost like a sterile environment and allows the procedure to be performed; this prevents contamination and increases the chance of success of the procedure. The rubber dam prevents the patient from swallowing the solutions and hand instruments used during the procedure, thus eliminating the surgical and painful processes that could occur after a possible swallowing of these solutions and instruments.
Will the Rubber Dam Bother Me?
One of the patients' concerns is whether the rubber dam will bother them. On the contrary, the rubber dam keeps the muscle tone constant, minimizing the patient's fatigue and allowing them to keep their mouth open wider.
