“…Many other specialties have experienced similar issues in the COVID-19 era, such as otolaryngology [ 9 ], orthopedics [ 10 ], urology [ 11 ] and diabetology [ 12 ]. Many protocols have also been developed for oral and maxillofacial surgery, as described by Zimmermann et al [ 13 ], Ebben et al [ 14 ], Blomestrand et al [ 15 ] and Brockes et al [ 16 ]. Telemedicine was also used to conduct clinical examinations on pediatric patients, as described by the work of Farook et al [ 17 ].…”

The rise of the COVID-19 pandemic has posed new challenges for health care institutions. Restrictions imposed by local governments worldwide have compromised the mobility of patients and decreased the number of physicians in hospitals. Additional requirements in terms of medical staff security further limited the physical contact of doctors with their patients, thereby questioning the traditional methods of clinical examination. Our institution has developed an organization model to translate the essential clinical services into virtual consultation rooms using a telemedicine interface which is commonly available to patients. We provide examples of clinical activity for a maxillofacial surgery department based on teleconsultation. Our experience is summarized and an organization model is drafted in which outpatient consultation offices are translated into virtual room environments. Clinical examples are provided, demonstrating how each subspecialty of oral and maxillofacial surgery can benefit from virtual examinations. The concept of “telesemeiology” is introduced and a checklist is presented to guide clinicians to perform teleconsultations. This paper is intended to provide an organization model based on telemedicine for maxillofacial surgeons and aims to represent an aid for colleagues who are facing the pandemic in areas where lockdown limits the possibility of a physical examination.

“…The patient should be requested to attend the dental facility all alone without company, unless the patient is a minor, or has a physical or mental disability. 13 Patients should be allowed to sit at least approximately 2 meters away from the unaffected care-unit in a well-ventilated room and asked to wear masks until being seated on the dental chair. 14 Just before beginning the oral examination, The CDC has initially directed that patients should be instructed to gargle with 0.23% povidone-iodine or 0.5% to 1% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) for minimum 15 seconds prior to starting of dental exam/treatment due to their non-specific virucidal activity against coronavirus.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has turned to be a huge international challenge. Being the part of dental care, we hold responsibilities both to the dental staff and our patients so that the cross infection of virus can be avoided. Since dentists mainly have to work inside the oral cavity, the whole dental team, staff and the technician are at the highest risk of getting affected by the virus. Not only they are at risk of getting infected but at the same time they can potentially transmit the virus. According to latest studies, the presence of virus in salivary secretion of many symptomatic as well as asymptomatic patients, the dental professionals especially Endodontist are at the greatest life threatening situation if they do not follow proper guidelines such as sterilization at their workplace. Till today no medicine manufacturing companies have come up with the proper treatment or vaccines which can protect dentist from contracting with the virus. In this pandemic situation, the general practicing dentist and the Endodontist must provide only emergency treatments so as to relieve pressure and pain. As this COVID continues, it is the responsibility of health care workers to come up with more definitive treatment plans that to stick on to just palliative care. This article aims to bring latest updates on treatment considerations in clinical practice in general. However, the article also includes the guidelines to be followed by the endodontist so as to limit the cross infection but at the same time relieve patient from dental pain or any dental disease.

“…These considerations are listed in Table 1. The patient should be asked to attend the dental facility alone without company, unless the patient is a minor, or has a physical or mental disability that requires a supporting carer (Ebben et al 2020). Patients should be seated at least approx.…”
