Some considerations on absolute isolation
Keywords:
rubber dam, Dentistry, General dentistry, rules for the practice in Dentistry.Abstract
Absolute isolation is a clinical procedure that contributes to improve procedures in the dental operative, rehabilitation, Odontopediatrics and Endodontics, because it propitiates an appropriate atmosphere for the restoration materials, as well as in the patient's security. With the purpose of promoting their use in practice a literature review was carried out that includes the history, elements of the absolute isolation, recommendations and scientific evidence on their use.
