Rubber Dam Courses UK
Rubber dam and isolation courses are short hands-on days that make rubber dam quick and routine: clamp selection, single-tooth and multi-tooth isolation, floss ligatures and matrixing for direct restorations. Isolation is the standard of care in endodontics and improves every bonded restoration.
4 courses listed, including 4 currently bookable or enquiry-ready
What to check before booking
- Enough hands-on repetition on typodonts to leave with a fast, reliable technique.
- Coverage of difficult isolation: broken-down teeth, partially erupted molars and subgingival margins.
- Matrixing and sectional matrix systems if you want better contacts on posterior composites.
- Small group sizes with instructor feedback.

Questions
Rubber Dam and Isolation courses, common questions
Is rubber dam mandatory for root canal treatment in the UK?
It is the accepted standard of care and is expected by the GDC, indemnity providers and the British Endodontic Society. Treating without it exposes you to clinical and medico-legal risk.
How long is a rubber dam course?
Most are half-day or one-day hands-on sessions providing three to seven hours of verifiable CPD.
Does isolation training count as CPD?
Under the GDC Enhanced CPD scheme dentists need 100 hours of verifiable CPD in each five-year cycle, with at least 10 hours in any two consecutive years. Check that the provider issues a certificate that states the hours, the learning outcomes and the GDC development outcomes it maps to.
