Clinical Trial Summary
Isolation is essential for the successful placement of esthetic restoration to avoid any
contamination of cavity with saliva ,secreation,and blood dental . This study is comparison
of optradam and convetional rubberdam system.The aim of this study is to investigate which
rubberdam system is better accepted by patients and dentists
Description:
This is in vivo comparative study of optradam and conventional rubber dam system.For this
study , two simple questionnaires were prepared.
The first questionnaire consisted of 5 questions. It enquired into the personal details of
the patient, which included the name, age & gender ,the patient's previous experience of
rubber dam use
1. The teeth to be isolated
2. .The type of procedure being carried out
3. The patient's comfort regarding the conventional rubber dam & the OptraDam
4. .The patient's protection regarding the conventional rubber dam & the OptraDam.
5. The patient's preference regarding the conventional rubber dam & the OptraDam The second
questionnaire consisted of 7 questions. This was to be filled by the dentist operating
on the respective patient. This questionnaire enquired into
1 The time taken to apply the conventional rubber dam & the OptraDam. 2 The ease with which
rubber dam could be applied.The amount of retraction & access achieved during the use of each
rubber dam. 3 The amount of moisture control achieved during the use of each rubber dam. 4 he
ease with which radiograph could be taken. 5 The dentist's preference regarding the
conventional rubber dam & OptraDam. In the first 30 patients, the conventional rubber dam was
used prior to the OptraDam. In the next 30 patients, the OptraDam was used before the
conventional rubber dam. This was done to prevent bias. For the first 30 patients, on the day
of the first appointment, the stopwatch was set for recording the time taken for the
application of the conventional rubber dam . Following this, the required dental treatment
was carried out. Radiographs were taken as & when necessary . At the end of the appointment,
the questionnaires were filled by the patient as well as the operator regarding their
experience of the conventional rubber dam.On the next consecutive appointment, the stopwatch
was set for the recording the time of application of the OptraDam. The required dental
treatment was carried out. Radiographs were taken. At the end of the appointment, the
questionnaires were again filled by the patient as well as the operator regarding their
experience of the OptraDam. For the next set of 30 patients, the above procedure was
repeated, except that, for them the OptraDam was used prior to conventional rubber dam].
DATA ANALYSIS:
All statistical analyses are performed with SPSS 13.0 . Analyses were confined to simple
cross tabulations of the patients & operator . P - value was calculated using Chi-square test
& Wilcoxon test whenever required to get appropriate results
