COVID-19 and its relationships with stomatological action protocols
Journal Title: Revista Científica Estudiantil de Ciencias Médicas de Matanzas - Year 2021, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
COVID-19 is the disease caused by a new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). The World Health Organization declared that the COVID-19 outbreak is a pandemic, essentially because of the speed in its spread, and because it is distributed on all continents, in which there are thousands of cases and numerous deaths. A bibliographic review was carried out in order to characterize the general aspects of the coronavirus and its relationship with the stomatological action protocols using databases such as Infomed, Pubmed and Scielo and selecting the information from the last five years. The presence of the virus in saliva, the short working distance between the stomatologist and the patient's mouth, together with the aerosols increase the risk of contamination when performing stomatological procedures. Stomatological personnel are among the most exposed to pathogens that remain in the oral cavity, including the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2).
