This survey was conducted at Kanagawa Dental University Hospital and included personnel involved in endodontic treatment using an operative dental microscope. A total of 301 people were surveyed: 50 patients, 90 general practitioners, 38 hygienists and 123 undergraduate students. The same questionnaire was used for all participants. Respondents were asked about the length of time a rubber dam could be applied, discomfort and desirability of usage. We also asked general practitioners about rubber dam usage and why some of them did not use one. We asked hygienists and undergraduate students about their experience using rubber dams and patients about their experience. Furthermore, we asked how the respondents learned about rubber dams.
