“…[16] In spite of the undoubted advantages of rubber dam, it is still believed to be controversy issue among general practitioners. [17] The results obtained from this study support this hypothesis. Moreover, the trend of these two dental colleges to stress on the usage of rubber dam in endodontic field rather than operative field may positively affect this finding.…”

Objective:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the general attitude of undergraduate dental students toward rubber dam use, specifically focusing on operative procedures before starting to serve community.Methods:Questionnaires were distributed to undergraduate clinical years' students of two private colleges; Al-Farabi Dental College, Riyadh, KSA and Buraidah Private Colleges, Qassim, KSA. Questions were asked about areas where the students used rubber dam in operative procedures, in which types of caries classes, and in which type of restoration they frequently used the rubber dam.Results:We found that students of both private dental colleges agreed with the opinions that proper isolation cannot be achieved for the restoration of operative procedures without using rubber dam and restoration placed under rubber dam have a greater longevity than those placed without.Conclusions:Within the limitations of the present study, it can be concluded that the perceptions of dental students on rubber dam need to be improved and strategies should be developed so that this valuable adjunct will comprise one of the indispensable elements of dental care.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the general attitude of senior dental students towards rubber dam use, specifically focusing on endodontic practices prior to starting to serve community. Questionnaires were distributed to senior year students of a private school and a state school in Istanbul. Questions were asked about areas where the students used rubber dam, its advantages and difficulties, and whether they agreed or disagreed with some aspects of the rubber dam. The private school students rated isolation whereas those of the state school selected prevention of aspiration which the top advantage rubber dam provides. Students of the state school agreed with the opinion that isolation cannot be achieved without rubber dam and it extended the procedure with a significantly higher ratio compared to the private school. Within the limitations of the present study, it can be concluded that the perceptions of dental students on rubber dam needs to be improved and strategies should be developed so that this valuable adjunct will comprise one of the indispensable elements of dental care.

“…Previous reports often comment that the use of rubber dam frequently stirs emotions within the dental profession, more so than other dental devices or techniques (Going & Sawinski 1968, Joynt et al. 1989, Marshall & Page 1990).…”

“…It seems paradoxical that a technique that is advocated as promoting and supporting good clinical practice is often ignored in routine dentistry (Ireland 1962). Surveys performed in the UK and North America have reported that rubber dam usage is low (Going & Sawinski 1968, Joynt et al. 1989, Marshall & Page 1990, McColl et al.…”
