“…Since the WHO declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic in March 2020 [ 38 ], numerous dental practice modifications have been gradually implemented to adhere to international biosafety protocols and reduce the risk of infection [ 39 , 40 ]. In this sense, it is evident that measures adopted, such as hand hygiene, the use of masks, the suspension of activities with a high concentration of people, and social distancing, have triggered fear, anxiety, stress, and uncertainty mainly in health-care professionals, including dentists [ 10 , 11 , 17 ].…”

This study aims to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically considering the mandatory social isolation measures implemented, on the perceived stress of a sample of dentists and dental students from Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as the associated sociodemographic and pandemic-related variables. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with a sample of 2036 dentists and dental students (1433 women). For the main outcome, the 14-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14) was used. The survey also questioned sociodemographic aspects, questions on the COVID-19 pandemic, health variables, and habits. Descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate analyses (linear regression) were applied to observe the factors associated with perceived stress. The PSS-14 mean score was 24.76 (±11.76). Hierarchical regression models showed significant variables associated with the PSS-14 scores: income level during mandatory social isolation, having older adults under care during mandatory social isolation, self-perceived level of concern regarding COVID-19, self-perceived health, Coffee consumption during mandatory social isolation. In general terms, the pandemic has influenced the personal, social, labor, and everyday life of dental staff and affected the mental health of this population specifically when perceived stress is considered. Public policies, strategies, and mental health surveillance systems are required for this population.

“…Las pautas desarrolladas en este trabajo son generales y la decisión final siempre se proporcionará a través del juicio crítico del profesional. Por ejemplo, si el tratamiento requerido no se puede proporcionar debido a su categoría de paciente; el buen juicio del profesional y la evaluación del caso pueden proporcionar otros métodos alternativos de gestión 26 . De lo contrario, el tratamiento debe posponerse y debe considerarse el tratamiento farmacológico del dolor y/o infección.…”

La situación actual a causa de la pandemia ocasionada por el coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 conlleva a la comunidad odontológica el plantearse medidas estrictas de prevención y control que puedan reducir el riesgo de infección y evitar efectivamente la propagación de la epidemia al considerar que la comunidad odontológica posee un elevado riesgo de transmisión viral, con lo cual se eleva el peligro de infección cruzada. Los odontólogos como equipo de salud deben estar preparados y con el conocimiento necesario para disminuir a posibilidad de contagio, sabiéndose que la saliva es la principal fuente de transmisión.

“…En caso de requerir imágenes de rayos x, la literatura sugiere que se deben priorizar los exámenes extraorales, como radiografía panorámica y cone beam (Vargas-Buratovic et al, 2020). Sin embargo, sabemos que son exámenes más costosos y menos accesibles para los pacientes en APS.…”
