Rubber Dam isolation can be tricky enough sometimes - it is especially awkward when the TERMINAL MOLAR needs restoring. How on earth does one isolate AND matrix this tooth? In this episode, Dr. Celine Higton delves into the intricacies of rubber dam isolation, particularly focusing on the last tooth in the arch. This discussion ties into the broader theme of mental health, highlighting how mastering such techniques can lead to a more enjoyable and stress-free practice. https://youtu.be/VeoPTNShAcs Watch PDP183 on Youtube Protrusive Dental Pearl: "Cow Mode" as a technique to improve access to the mouth's hard-to-reach areas, especially around the last molars. By instructing patients to shift their jaw to one side, akin to a cow's chewing, this approach aids in better oral hygiene practices and facilitates procedures like rubber dam isolation when clamping the terminal molar.

Jaz's Introduction:And for me, I've talked about before, like for me, rubber dam is my tranquil environment. It's when I'm least stressed. I've got rubber dam on, the patient can't talk, the tongue is abolished, and I'm just falling in love with a little micro steps that makes our profession so much fun, right? But when you're isolating the last tooth, like let's say it's a wisdom tooth or whichever is the last tooth. And then that tooth also needs a restoration. Then we have some issues, i.e If you clamp that tooth, then how can you get a matrix on that tooth? And that's the problem that we're solving today with the real superstar of dentistry. Her name is Dr. Celine Higton. I know so many of you probably already have heard of her. And I think it's so fitting that April, we're focusing April on mental health. So I'm going to talk a little bit more about mental health this month. And how is isolating the last tooth rubber dam relevant to mental health? Well, I told you already, it reduces my stress. I'm in my happy place when I've got rubber dam on.

So it's a great stress reducer for me. But also because in the conversation that I had with Celine, I think it's so obvious that, look, you guys know I'm super enthusiastic about what I do in dentistry. And I think that's really important for a long career and fulf...
