Bridges do not present a problem with the application of rubber dam. A suitable winged clamp is fitted onto the abutment tooth and the dam stretched over the clamp. If there are any small gaps, these can be sealed with a caulking material such as Oraseal or Cavit.
When root treating teeth acting as bridge abutments a careful check should always be made that the bridge is not loose. If a bridge has become debonded it must be removed. This should be carried out before any attempt is made to root-treat one of the abutment teeth.
