Rubber dam isolation in difficult clinical conditions. A case report
Keywords:
adverse condition, clamps, endodontics, rubber dam isolationAbstract
Introduction: The rubber dam has several advantages, such as protecting the patient from aspiration of an instrument, preventing soft tissue laceration with rotary or manual instruments, improving accessibility and visibility, and preventing cross infection. Objective: to show the use of the rubber dam in a difficult clinical situation due to the position of the RE. Case presentation: 41-year-old patient came to the dental clinic with a history of acute pain in the lower right region for several weeks. The clinical examination revealed a deep carious lesion in the lower right third molar, affected for a year. Conclusions: the modification of the retainer prevents its subsequent rectification, so cases with extensive tissue loss or gyroversions must be planned in advance with the help of study models.
