Introdução: O isolamento absoluto é uma técnica essencial em procedimentos dentários que envolve a utilização de um dique de borracha para isolar o campo operatório. Esta prática oferece diversas vantagens, como a melhoria da visibilidade, controlo dos fluidos orais e redução do risco de infeção cruzada. Este estudo examina o uso do isolamento absoluto no contexto do atendimento clínico universitário a partir da perspetiva do paciente. Materiais e Métodos: O sistema escolhido para avaliar a perspetiva dos pacientes foi um questionário realizado na plataforma Google Forms, distribuído durante as consultas realizadas na clínica universitária da Universidade Católica Portuguesa. Resultados: A amostra é constituída por 103 indivíduos. Os resultados revelaram que a maioria avaliou positivamente a explicação fornecida pelos profissionais de saúde sobre o procedimento. Muitos pacientes expressaram uma disposição favorável para aceitar o uso do isolamento absoluto em tratamentos futuros, embora alguns pacientes relatassem desconforto associado ao seu uso, destacando a perceção de segurança e a qualidade proporcionada pelo uso desta técnica. Conclusões: A comunicação eficaz entre o profissional de medicina dentária e o paciente é crucial para a aceitação do isolamento absoluto. O estudo conclui que, apesar de algumas desvantagens, o isolamento absoluto é amplamente apreciado pelos pacientes devido aos seus benefícios na melhoria da qualidade e segurança do tratamento dentário.

This practice offers numerous advantages, such as enhanced visibility, control of oral fluids, and a reduction in the risk of cross-infection. This study examines the use of rubber dam within the context of university clinical care from the patient's perspective. Materials and Methods: The system chosen to assess patient perspectives was a questionnaire conducted on the Google Forms platform, distributed during consultations at the Universidade Católica Portuguesa university clinic. Results: The sample in this study consisted of 103 individuals. The results indicated that the majority positively evaluated the explanation provided by healthcare professionals regarding the procedure. Many patients expressed a favourable disposition towards accepting the use of rubber dam in future treatments, although some reported discomfort associated with its use, highlighting the perception of safety and quality afforded by this technique. Conclusions: Effective communication between the dental practitioner and the patient is crucial for the acceptance of absolute isolation. The study concludes that, despite some disadvantages, absolute isolation is widely appreciated by patients due to its benefits in enhancing the quality and safety of dental treatment.
