Comparison Of Working Time In Placement Of Rubber Dam Sheets Using Different Punching Techniques
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: A dental dam or rubber dam is a thin sheet of 6 inch usually made up of latex or nitrile. It is used in the field of dentistry to isolate the operative tooth from the rest of the mouth. There are many advantages of using rubber dams on teeth such as isolation, visibility, protection, reduction of time while following a procedure.
Materials and methods: For this study rubber dam sheets, template, punching machine, forceps, clamps, typodont and markers were used. 20 students were asked to punch once, twice and then thrice of marked size of tooth on the separate rubber dam, place it on the typodont and then clamp with forceps. This time of placement of all 3 procedures were recorded respectively. Comparison of working time in placement was done between the three punching techniques.
Results: On placement of rubber dam with one punch, two punches and three punches on to the tooth, working time of placement of three punches was found to be less when compared to the other two punches.
Conclusion: Rubber dam is considered to be used in the treatment of the tooth. On comparison of working time in placement of rubber dam using different punching techniques, the rubber dam with three punches was found to be less.
