- Abstract
Objective: To provide a comprehensive protocol for final impressions making under rubber dam isolation by using an intraoral scanner. Clinical consideration: Impression making after tooth preparation with rubber dam isolation are impossible with conventional physical impressions, which are not with intraoral scanners. Digital technologies have disrupted dentistry in the last decades, bringing new, straightforward, and more time‐efficient protocols for dental practice. Conclusions: Taking in consideration the beneficial properties of scanning under rubber dam this protocol can be highly recommended for everyday use for making definitive intraoral scans for tooth‐supported restorations. Clinical significance: The described protocol offers the possibility to make a final impression in a stress‐free environment, without blood or saliva, to obtain a better visualization and scanning of the finish line, and the potential of save time on definitive impression making.
