Özet:

 Aim: The use of rubber dam is the gold standard among isolation methods in dentistry. The aim of this study is to evaluate the students approach and knowledge level on the use of rubber dam in dentistry. Materials and Methods: In this study, a questionnaire was created with the help of an online form builder on Google. In the survey, 18 different questions were asked in the form of multiple choice and checkboxes about the use of rubber dam. The questions used in the survey were prepared by compiling from the questions asked in the literature. Survey questions were sent to 286 people online. A total of 262 students participated in the survey. Results: Participants were 43 male and 57 female. The ages of the participants are between 20-44. Of the participants, 64 stated that they did not know how to use a rubber dam, and 97 reported that they did not use a rubber dam in clinical routine. While the rate of those who never used a rubber dam was 82 in adult patients, it was 85 in pediatric patients. Despite this, 84 of the participants think that the use of rubber dam should be mandatory in vital endodontic treatments and 71 in non-vital endodontic treatments. Most of the participants find the rubber dam useful in terms of isolation success and aspiration safety. In the answers given, the lack of knowledge and education was chosen as the most common reason for not using a rubber dam. For this reason, 96 of the participants do not consider themselves sufficient in the use of rubber dam. Conclusion: The use of rubber dam has numerous clinical benefits for the physician. For this reason, necessary theoretical and practical training should be supported for the widespread use of rubber dams.

 Amaç: Diş hekimliğinde izolasyon yöntemleri arasında rubber dam kullanımı altın standarttır. Bu çalışmanın amacı diş hekimliğinde rubber dam kullanımına öğrencilerin yaklaşımını ve bilgi düzeyini değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmada Google üzerinden online form oluşturucu yardımıyla anket oluşturuldu. Ankette rubber dam kullanımı ile ilgili çoktan seçmeli ve onay kutucukları şeklinde 18 farklı soru soruldu. Ankette kullanılan sorular literatürde konuyla ilgili sorulmuş sorulardan derlenerek hazırlandı. Anket soruları online olarak 286 kişiye gönderildi. Ankete 262 öğrenci katıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılanların 43ü erkek, 57si kadındı. Katılımcıların yaşları 20-44 arasındadır. Katılımcıların 64ü rubber dam kullanımını bilmediğini belirtmiş, 97si ise klinik rutinde rubber dam kullanmadığını bildirmiştir. Yetişkin hastalar için 82, çocuk hastalar için 85lik kısımlar hiçbir zaman rubber dam kullanmadığını bildirmiştir. Buna rağmen katılımcıları 84ü vital endodontik tedavilerde, 71i non-vital endodontik tedavilerde rubber dam kullanımının zorunlu olması gerektiğini düşünmektedir. Katılımcıların büyük çoğunluğu izolasyon başarısı ve aspirasyon güvenliği açısından rubber damı faydalı bulmaktadır. Verilen cevaplarda en sık rubber dam kullanmama sebebi olarak bilgi ve eğitim eksikliğini seçilmiştir. Bu sebeple katılımcıların  96sı kendini rubber dam kullanımında yeterli görmemektedir. Sonuç: Rubber dam kullanımının hekime klinikte sayısız faydası bulunmaktadır. Bu sebeple rubber dam kullanımının yaygınlaşması için gerekli teorik ve pratik eğitimler desteklenmelidir.
