The advantages of the use of rubber dams in restorative dentistry are undisputed. The correct application of many innovative dental materials requires an absolutely dry environment. The use of rubber dams substantially enhances accessibility and visibility in the surgical field, allowing dental surgeons to optimize their work by freeing up one hand. A second benefit of using rubber dams is that potentially harmful substances are kept away from the patient`s body.

The authors present a concept that is best characterized as higly successful, clinically proven, and eminently convincing. They have compiled a vast number of tips and valuable pointers of the type rarely found in textbooks – that permit the application of rubber dams even across a span of ten teeth or more in an elegant manner and in minimal time. The authors` stated objective is to integrate the rubber dam technique into daily surgical procedures in an efficient manner:

• Organizational prerequisites
• The procedure of applying rubber dams
• Optimized instruments and materials
• Solutions for special problems such as cramped interdental spaces, subgingival lesions, etc.
• Rubber dams in pediatric dentistry
• A very special application: professional teeth cleaning according to H. Brinker
