Microscopically Guided Rubber Dam Integration - A Minimally Invasive, Effective Treatment Protocol

Dr. Shakibaie presents a modern approach in adhesive dentistry that combines the precision of microscopy with rubber dam application. The microscopically guided rubber dam protocol (MGRI) utilizes high magnification and targeted illumination from a dental operating microscope to address challenges in isolation while enhancing accuracy, efficiency, and patient safety. The protocol provides a step-by-step guide for clamp selection and placement, soft tissue coverage, marginal inversion, and rubber dam removal, supported by four-handed dentistry for optimal execution. This minimally invasive method demonstrates how microscope integration can significantly improve rubber dam standards in restorative and esthetic dentistry.
