| description | Introduction: COVID-19 is a disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus and transmitted through respiratory track. So, dentists face a great risk working directly in the oral cavity.
Objective: systematization of the theoretical references concerning the impact of COVID-19 in dental areas.
Method: a systematic review on the subject was carried out at the Universidad Regional Autónoma de los Andes, from September to December 2022. Of a total of 36 articles reviewed, 23 were selected according to criteria, available in PUBMED and SciELO, published in English and Spanish by different authors, and associated to the COVID-19 transmission in dentistry.
Results: the following topics were addressed: oral diseases caused by COVID-19, changes in dental areas due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and biosecurity measures used in the dental service for ensure patient safety receiving treatment.
Final considerations: COVID-19 has had great repercussions in dentistry, which affects the oral and general health of patients and, in turn, leads to the use of strict biosecurity measures inside and outside the dental office, so, it is essential for dentists to become empowered of the theoretical references related to the subject and also be focused on detecting lesions that may constitute primary signs of a possible presence of SARS-CoV-2, in adopt responsible behaviors and to avoid any spread of disease. |
