“…According to the information available, the most common transmission routes for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) or COVID-19 are through droplet transmission via direct face-to-face contact between patients and dental healthcare providers (DHCPs), coughing or sneezing and indirect transmission by touching surfaces that were contaminated by the virus and then touching face, nose or eyes and through coarse or small droplets of saliva whilst performing aerosol generating procedures such as laryngoscopy or dental treatments (Peng et al 2020, Prati et al 2020. The SARS-CoV-2 virus has an affinity for the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2) receptor, which is in abundance in the respiratory tract and salivary gland duct epithelium, and therefore, the saliva is very likely to contain a high viral load (Liu et al 2011).…”

Umer F, Haji Z, Zafar K. Role of respirators in controlling the spread of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) amongst dental healthcare providers: a review. International Endodontic Journal.During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare professionals are at the forefront of managing the highly infectious coronavirus. As the most common route of transmission is via aerosols and droplet inhalation, it is critical for healthcare workers to have the correct personal protective equipment (PPE) including gowns, masks and goggles. Surgical masks are not effective in preventing the influenza and SARS, so they are unlikely to be able to resist contaminated aerosols from entering the respiratory system. Therefore, it is vital to use respirators which have been proven to offer better protection against droplets, aerosols and fluid penetration and which form a tight seal around the mouth and nose. Various types of respirators are used in healthcare settings, such as half-mask filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) and powered air-purifying respirators (PAPRs). The most commonly used FFR is the N95 disposable respirator, which is tight fitting and has a 95% or above particle filtering efficiency for a median particle size of 0.3 µm. This review discusses respirators, their purpose, types, clinical efficiency and proper donning and doffing techniques.

“…• For detecting patients to who care can be provided with limited risk of transmission with SARS-CoV-2, triage is applicable (Alharbi, Alharbi, & Alqaidi, 2020;Ayebare, Flick, Okware, Bodo, & Lamorde, 2020;Izzetti et al, 2020;Prati, Pelliccioni, Sambri, Chersoni, & Gandolfi, 2020 (Khurshid et al, 2020).…”

Infection control in dental health care during and after the SARS‐CoV‐2 outbreak

et al. 2020

COVID‐19 is an emerging infectious disease caused by the widespread transmission of the coronavirus SARS‐CoV‐2. Some of those infected become seriously ill. Others do not show any symptoms, but can still contribute to transmission of the virus. SARS‐CoV‐2 is excreted in the oral cavity and can be spread via aerosols. Aerosol generating procedures in dental health care can increase the risk of transmission of the virus. Due to the risk of infection of both dental healthcare workers and patients, additional infection control measures for all patients are strongly recommended when providing dental health care. Consideration should be given to which infection control measures are necessary when providing care in both the current situation and in the future.

“…Para la desinfección superficial usar hipoclorito de sodio al 0,1 % o etanol al 70 % o peróxido de hidrógeno al 0,5 %. (Alharbi et al;Prati et al;Mallineni et al, 2020) Otra alternativa, para el sillón dental es utilizar un paño suave que este humedecido con cloro de 2000 mg/L o etanol al 75 %. Cuando se use el cloro, los excesos y sobrantes deben limpiarse con un paño suave después de la desinfección, y cuando se usa alcohol al 75 % se debe dejar que seque naturalmente (An et al, 2020).…”
