In dentistry, use of a rubber dam is sometimes referred to as isolation. Dental dams may also be used as a safe sex technique to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) during cunnilingus and other sexual activities.
Unlike most built dams, however, those used in dentistry are temporary, disposable barriers. A dental dam -- also called a rubber dam or intraoral dental dam -- is a square of latex or non-latex material that fits into the mouth and covers all but the teeth being worked on during a dental visit. One way to envision a dental dam is to think of painter's tape.
