A brief historical perspective on the creative evolution of dental (rubber) dam stabilization is proffered. While the vast majority of endodontists rely on the application of a metallic or plastic stabilizing device (clamp), as per the standard of care, to provide quality root canal procedures, the routine use by generalists falls short of ideal.
