“…There are several challenges in completing dental treatments due to the intricacy of the oral environment. To minimize them, proper isolation is required to control operating field as well as provide safe and quality treatment [3] . Isolation of the working area includes isolation from saliva, blood, gingival crevicular fluid and soft tissues like lips, cheeks, gingiva and tongue [4] .…”

Isolation of the operating field is a fundamental aspect in pediatric dentistry, which requires greater attention and care in relation to various treatments since the risk of damage to the soft tissues is increased due to sudden movements of children. There must be proper control of moisture, good accessibility and visibility as well as be spacious for instrumentation around the working area. Such an environment is necessary for easy manipulation and insertion of restorative materials.

A bstract Isolation plays an important role in dentistry. It is mandatory to maintain isolation during various dental treatments. A simple new isolation tool (intraoral cheek and lip retractor mouth opener tool) is available, which is a multipurpose tool. The need for the study was to evaluate the functionality of the new isolation tool. Aim The aim of the study was to compare the traditional isolation method with the new isolation tool. A questionnaire pattern was adopted for the present study. The study was then conducted to evaluate the patient acceptability and ease of access for the operator. Materials and methods A total 200 pediatric patients were included in the study; they were divided into two groups. Group I—isolation with the new isolation tool, group II—isolation with cotton rolls and a mouth mirror. A structured questionnaire was given to the operators to evaluate the ease of use of the new isolation tool. A Likert scale was provided to the patients to evaluate the comfort of the new isolation tool during various treatments. Result Statistical analysis shows significant results by obtaining the p -value < 0.05. Conclusion The study clearly shows that the new isolation tool is a better option in terms of retracting soft tissue, keeping the mouth open, and maintaining isolation. Clinical significance This new tool helps in the retraction of soft tissue as well as isolation, and it also keeps the mouth open. How to cite this article Chauhan KM, Sodani V, Sharma DJ, et al.
