Although it can never provide perfect isolation, rubber dam greatly facilitates adhesive procedures by keeping the operating field dry throughout operative procedures. Research has shown time and again that the modern dentin bonding agents cannot cope with blood- or saliva contamination. In spite of this very few dentists use rubber dam routinely. Once experienced in its use, it should not take up much more clinical time than 2 minutes.
