The first step in endodontic treatments after anesthesia is to isolate the operative field.

In cases where there is an aproximal filling then it is preferable to make multipletooth isolation and put a wood wedge to protect the ruberdam in that space.

To save our time: instead of preendo build up, we can use liquid dam as an aproximal barrier during endodontic treatments.

Let`s not forget that we treat endodontic spaces and not just onla the cannals.
