I use a rubber dam quite often for regular work and always for root
canals. I've had very little opposition from patients and I have
even had positive comments as to not getting choked on all of the
water, ground up tooth, ground up old fillings, bad tasting chemicals,
etc. going down their throat.

In the US, if you ever got sued over a root canal case, you could do
everything right, but leave off the rubber dam and lose. It is the
standard of care to put on a rubber dam before endo, period.
