Active Comparator: Rubber Dam Isolation of single tooth using rubber dam |
Device: Rubber Dam Set
Rubber dam set is the generic name of an isolation device that consists of a rubber sheet that isolates the tooth from saliva, a clamp to hold the rubber sheet on the tooth to be isolated, and a metal frame to keep the rubber sheet in a stretched position during dental procedures.

Active Comparator: Cotton Roll Isolation of quadrant using cotton rolls |
Device: Dental Cotton Roll
Cotton roll is the generic name of a disposable isolation device made of cotton in a cylindrical form. Cotton rolls are used to isolate the teeth from saliva, by being placed in the cheek and tongue during placement of sealants or filings.
