Rubberdam Sandblasting Bonding Composite — #RSBC

Insulation, Sandblasting, Bonding, Composite

For successful clinical therapeutic practice, absolutely all aspects of the work are important, including logistics (instruments, materials), and work ergonomics. But the ideological component is equally important. In this article, we will not discuss the humanistic aspects of the importance of providing dental care to patients or the severity of the condition of a patient experiencing long-term pain in the maxillofacial region.

The title of the article highlights key aspects of therapeutic dentistry, the absence of any of which will lead to tragic consequences for the patient’s long-term tooth preservation and irreversible damage to the dentist’s reputation.

Isolation of the working field in the oral cavity using the rubber dam technique

In the clinical concept presented to you #RSBC is the first and one of the most important clinical steps – rubber dam isolation. Clinicians who deny the need for this technique for long-term enamel-to-composite suture survival should consider patient safety.

This is a standalone international training program for dentists #RUBBERDAMOLOGY located on its own website.

#RUBBERDAMOLOGY – the basis of everything you do with your hands in therapeutic dentistry – isolating the working field from saliva using the rubber dam technique.

Powderblasting the surface with aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃)

This step is only worth discussing if RUBBERDAM insulation has been correctly and effectively installed in the oral cavity before beginning work.

To perform this stage of prebonding preparation of hard dental tissues or fragments of orthopedic structures, you will need a specialized tool – a powderblasting tip, the most well-known on the market is the KAVO RondoFlex

KaVo RONDOflex:

This is an air abrasive handpiece used in dentistry for preparing teeth, preparing surfaces for restoration, and removing tartar.nbsp;

RONDOflex Powder:

Aluminum oxide-based abrasive powder with a particle size of 27 microns, specially developed for use in the KaVo RONDOflex plus 360 handpiece.

Application:

The powder is used to remove plaque, soft deposits, and to prepare carious cavities. It is also used to prepare the tooth surface before placing orthopedic and orthodontic appliances.

Advantages:

Due to its small particle size, the powder ensures effective and gentle treatment of tooth tissue. The air velocity when working with the tip does not cause thermal effects on dental tissue.

Safety:

Aluminum oxide used in dentistry is safe for patients and is not carcinogenic.
