    • Analysis of dental dam application techniques.
    • Assessment of infection control protocols.

    Main Results:

    • Many GDPs are not fully utilizing dental dams.
    • Simple and rapid techniques for dental dam placement exist.
    • Rubber dam significantly contributes to infection control.

    Conclusions:

    • Increased adoption of dental dam is recommended for daily procedures.
    • Education on efficient placement techniques is needed for GDPs.
    • Dental dam is a vital tool for enhancing patient safety and infection control in dental settings.
