Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the point of view of dentistry faculty students, the reasons for their preference or not, and the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on their atti- tudes about rubber-dam. Material & Methods: A web-based questionnaire was asked to 944 people via e-mail and internet, and 22 questions were asked to the fourth and fifth grade students of the faculty of dentistry who are studying in various cities of Turkey. Only participants who completed the questionnaire were included in the study. In addition to descriptive statistics, the chi-square test was used to compare methods. The results were evalua- ted at the level of significance (𝑃 <0.05). Results: 545 students, 370 (67.9%) female and 175 (32.1%) male, completed the questionnaire. 25.1% of the participants stated that they had never used a rubber-dam before and 41.8% stated that they did not receive a satisfactory tra- ining on the use of rubber-dam. The rate of participants using a rubber dam in each patient undergoing endo- dontic treatment is 34.5%. 87% of the participants stated that the rubber-dam facilitates access to the root canals, but 88.8% stated that the rubber-dam complicates the radiographing procedure. 69.2% of the students thought that rubber-dam could reduce the risk of contamination, and 68.6% of them had an increased desire to use a rub- ber-dam. Conclusions: Identifying students' current perspectives on the use of rubber-dam may be helpful in guiding the educational content. It is important to increase the rub- ber-dam knowledge and competence of students in the fight against all other infectious diseases such as the CO- VID-19 pandemic.
