“…Fear, worry, tension, and despair were the most common sentiments among dentists in our study. Compared to the general population, healthcare professionals encountered far more emotional stress during the COVID-19 pandemic (24,25). Similarly, Noushi et al discovered that Canadian dentists are worried about their employees, patients, personal health, and the future of their practice (21).…”

BackgroundThis study aimed to explore the lived experiences of dentists practicing in Mashhad, Iran, during the COVID-19 pandemic and identify possible influencing factors for providing dental health in this era.MethodsSixteen dentists took part in this qualitative phenomenological study. Semi-structured face-to-face interviews were performed and evaluated using a qualitative content analysis approach. The MAXQDA program (2020) was used to code and classify the data. Purposive sampling, audio recording, member checking, and peer review were employed to verify transferability, reliability, and validity. The interview transcripts were transcribed, and sentences and remarks relevant to the study's goal were retrieved and classified.ResultsSix hundred twenty-eight codes were extracted after several readings of the texts. Five core themes and fourteen sub-themes were determined after deleting repeated themes and axial coding. The main five themes included: “Coping with the COVID-19 pandemic”, “Alternations in providing dental care,” “Infection control,” “COVID-19-related news and information sources”, and “Positive and negative aspects of COVID-19 in dental care ”.ConclusionsDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, dentists noted various challenges in delivering routine dental treatment, including a lack of resources, reliable and straightforward guidelines for dentists, and governmental policies for dental facility restrictions. Dentists concluded that financial, educational, and financial support from the government would significantly enhance the delivery of community dental care services. With the right strategies and lessons learned, dentists may be better prepared for future challenges in global health care.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on the dentistry industry from the initial lockdown in March 2020 to the present day, nearly one year later with dentists unable to practice during the initial lockdown, that is when revenue took the biggest hit. The study aims to examine the impact of COVID-19 on dental practices during the pandemic in Bulgaria. Material and methods: A specially developed questionnaire was distributed electronically among 138 dentists from all regions of Bulgaria. The collected primary statistical information was entered and processed with the statistical package SPSS Statistics 19.0 Results: Statistical analyzes of the questionnaire show that (62,32%±4,12) of dentists say COVID-19 made no impact on their decision to retire or continue practicing; 43% of respondents predict revenue or costs will be the biggest challenge facing their practice in 2021. Part of dentists (34.78 % ± 4,05) believe that COVID-19 allowed them to learn more about infection control. Most of the respondents (87.68% ± 2.79) agree their income was lower in April to September of 2020 compared to 2019. More than half of dentists (61.59 % ± 4.14) believe Covid 19 has not impacted the products or services they offer. The majority of the participants (84.78 % ± 3.05) did not perform non-emergency procedures during the pandemic. Conclusion: Despite the numerous disadvantages caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, our survey shows dentists have found ways to adapt and succeed.
