Effective isolation is essential for successful restorative dental treatment in children because it improves moisture control, treatment quality, and patient safety. Rubber dam has long been considered the standard isolation technique; however, some children may experience discomfort during its use. Isolite is an integrated isolation system that combines suction, soft tissue retraction, bite support, and illumination in a single device and may improve the child's treatment experience. The purpose of this randomized crossover clinical trial is to compare Isolite and rubber dam with respect to behavioral pain, patient comfort, patient satisfaction, and treatment duration during restorative dental treatment in children. Sixty-six children requiring bilateral restorative treatment of permanent mandibular first molars will receive treatment with both isolation techniques in a randomized order during two separate appointments, allowing each participant to serve as his or her own control. Behavioral pain will be assessed using the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability (FLACC) Behavioral Pain Scale. Patient comfort and patient satisfaction will be evaluated immediately after each treatment session using a visual analogue scale, and treatment duration will also be recorded. The findings are expected to provide evidence regarding the influence of different isolation techniques on children's treatment experiences and may support patient-centered decision-making in pediatric res…
