Rubber dam isolation and moisture control (alone or with saliva aspiration) vs Cotton rolls (with or without saliva aspiration): Restoration survival
- Population
- Dental patients undergoing direct or indirect restorative treatment (no age or gender restriction)
- Intervention
- Rubber dam isolation and moisture control (alone or with saliva aspiration)
- Comparison
- Cotton rolls (with or without saliva aspiration)
- Outcome
- Restoration survival
Rubber dam isolation and moisture control (alone or with saliva… may leads to higher survival rate of restorations (6 months) compared with cotton rolls (with or without saliva aspiration) (low certainty).

How reviews are matched to this question
Reviews word the same question differently. Four decision models (TypeSafe's Jev, Liquid AI's d1-ultra, SubQ Snap and Baseten's Elephant) judged each wording of the population, intervention, comparator and outcome against the others; two wordings count as the same when at least three of them agree and none clearly disagrees, and findings count as this question only when all four elements match. Timing, setting and subgroup never split a question: they are shown on each finding.
