Could be just one: You might only need just the single tooth isolated, but it's up to the personal preference of the dentist how many teeth he likes to isolate for the procedure.

Cuspid to Cuspid: is the most common isolation for this procedure. The advantage is acquiring excellent access, moisture control and best cosmetics.
