ISOBLU Online Rubber Dam Masterclass

Thomas Taha’s ISOBLU course uses more than 30 clinical videos to teach rubber-dam isolation for general dentists, specialists, therapists and students. Learning is self-paced, with downloadable checklists and practical reference sheets.

Preparation and fundamentals

• Planning isolation for restorative, paediatric, endodontic and prosthodontic work.
• Equipment and sheet selection, patient and airway management, retraction and site preparation.
• Using the TAHA template or traditional marking, punching, clamp selection and adapting to missing or asymmetric dentitions.
• Preparing clean, retracted fields for matrix placement and bonding.

Clinical applications

• Single-tooth, quadrant and full-arch isolation.
• Posterior and wisdom teeth, deep subgingival margins and complex restorative situations.
• Anterior direct restorations, veneers, bridges and split-dam approaches.
• Troubleshooting common preparation and application errors using real clinical examples.

Access, support and CPD

The course offers six UK verifiable CPD hours after completing its assessment. Video content is described as exceeding six hours, but this is not a higher confirmed certificate total. Lifetime and time-limited access options are described; check the current fee and the exact access period at enrolment. Case discussion and questions are supported through a Facebook group. Some in-person TAHA delegates receive limited access, which is different from a lifetime subscription.
