Figure 4.; Lateral Radiograph With an Outline of the Esophagus and a Potential Zenker's Diverticulum The esophagus and likely position of the Zenker's diverticulum on the lateral radiograph have been outlined in red. This outline has been provided to explain the lateral positioning of the amalgam fragment seen in Figure 1.

not commonplace in dental practice. And perhaps most interestingly, a discussion from one of the contributors of a 1986 article 4 published in the Journal of the American Dental Association mentioned that high-risk HIV-infected patients were viable for treatment in isolation rooms with extensive precautions that included stripping the “room bare, apart from the dental chair unit and light…cupboards and drawers are taped shut and covered with polythene sheeting, a moist glutaraldehyde ‘doormat' is placed across the threshold and before treatment begins the whole

aerosolized viral spread. This type of solution may be viable in the short term, provided access to multiple rooms with isolation capabilities even exists. However, dental practices often have limited options regarding enclosed treatment rooms because of the popularity of open-space concepts, which are not conducive to minimizing viral spread from AGPs. Furthermore, negative-pressure rooms have also been suggested as a means of mitigation, but this level of infrastructure is virtually unheard of outside a hospital and incorporating such a system is likely cost prohibitive

during the rubber dam isolation time block (what procedures were to be performed and the operative protocol were dictated by the operator and attending faculty member, not the investigator). During 3 procedures, rubber dam isolation was attempted, but cotton roll isolation had to be used because of the state of the decay in the maxillary anterior. Table 3.
