Isolation of Teeth in Children: A Review

Abstract

Isolation is done for proper control of moisture, good accessibility and visibility, to provide adequate space
for instrumentation and operation. Most of the children are non-cooperative during treatment. So, isolation is
mandatorily necessary for pediatric patients. Studies have shown that there are successful retention rates of
adhesive restoration when a rubber dam is used rather than any other isolation technique. The judicious use
of rubber dam ensures greater patient comfort and delivery of high-quality dental care to pediatric patients.
