Introduction

A recent survey showed that not many GDPs use rubber dam routinely for dental procedures. A number of reasons were attributed to this namely poor experience, inadequate teaching etc. Good moisture control is essential for the long-term success of adhesive restorations. The rubber dam course will show you how you can isolate teeth in different situations quickly and with relative ease.
