Learning Center

This session delivers a clinically grounded overview of rubber dam isolation for everyday and advanced restorative dentistry. We will examine how isolation influences outcomes, including a concise review of the presenter’s research on its microbiologic, adhesive, and biomechanical effects. Participants will learn practical strategies for efficient dam placement, smart clamp selection, problem-solving common challenges, and applying advanced techniques for difficult quadrants, deep margins, and anterior esthetics.

The introduction of innovative restorative equipment and products has significantly enhanced our ability as clinicians to provide reliable treatment for our patients. These advanced products and predictable procedures contribute to consistently successful outcomes. This course will offer valuable insight on how to approach your restorative cases with greater confidence, and more enjoyment.

If you’re unable to attend live, a recording will be emailed the next business day.
