Rubber Dam
• Puncher
– It is used to make round
holes of different
diameters (0,7 – 2 mm),
depending on the tooth
to be isolated.

Access Cavity
– 1st Upper Premolar
• The access opening is oval on the
occlusal surface and should be in
the middle third of the tooth,
both mesiodistally and
buccolingually.
– 1st Lower Premolar
• The chamber shape is usually
oval or rounded, as is the access
opening on the occlusal surface.

Access Cavity
– 1st Upper Premolar
• Starting point:
– Max. premolars:
central groove
between the cusp tip.
– 1st Lower Premolar
• Mand. premolars: 1/3 to ½ up the
incline of the buccal cusp on a
line connecting the two cusps.

Image Shift Principle (SLOB Rule)
(also called: Buccal shift rule):
• SLOB = ( Same lingual / Opposite Buccal )
We should know:
To which direction the cone is
displaced.
To which direction the object is
displaced (according to a fixed
anatomical land mark = reference line)
If the structure is
located buccally moves to
the opposite direction of the cone
If the structure is
located lingually moves to
the same direction of the cone
