Common conclusions
Undergoing dental treatment with composite fillings may require a rubber dam placement due to the necessity of dryness around the particular tooth. The adhesive features of the material lessen in the damp conditions, so your dentist may place a rubber piece on your tooth as well as a metal clip (clamp) to keep it in place. There are also situations where you may require a liquid rubber dam, which is put over the main one to secure all the gaps between your gums and tooth area. This can help your filling stick better.
It seems you may need a rubber dam to secure your tooth from the mouth cavity. This step is necessary during root treatment in order to protect your canals from saliva on the one side and your mouth cavity from strong antibacterial solutions on the other.
Having a teeth whitening procedure may require an isolation step using a mouth retraction device. This can help you keep your teeth and tongue in place comfortably which in turn reduces the risk of getting the bleaching gel on your soft mouth tissues.
Undergoing dental cleaning may require an isolation device called an Optra gate. This step is necessary in order to protect your lips and cheeks from injury or pressure.
Based on your answers, it is difficult to determine the probability of isolation necessity during your dental treatment. Contact your dentist for more information on your particular situation.
