Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Endodontics
  • Surgical Procedures

Background:

  • Managing large periapical lesions requires meticulous isolation of the root end.
  • Traditional methods involve bone wax, cotton pellets, or hemostatic agents for moisture control.

Observation:

  • Existing techniques for root end isolation can be cumbersome.
  • A need exists for a simpler, more effective isolation method.

Findings:

  • A straightforward rubber dam technique is presented for isolating the root apex.
  • This technique demonstrates effective isolation prior to reverse filling procedures.

Implications:

  • This improved isolation technique can enhance procedural efficiency in endodontics.
