Covid19 and Dentistry

Abstract

Antecedentes: El nuevo coronavirus, Sars-CoV-2, detectado en China en diciembre de 2019 originó la pandemia mundial COVID-19 que ha afectado a más de 70 millones de pacientes. El virus es altamente infeccioso por contaminación aérea. Por ello, los dentistas son considerados como profesionales de alto riesgo de contaminación. Deben ser conscientes de los riesgos de transmisión y seguir las recomendaciones oficiales para protegerse como a sus pacientes. Además, las células humanas huéspedes del virus se encuentran en muchos órganos vitales, pero también en el medio oral, lo que implica posibles afecciones orales de COVID-19. Objetivo: Esta revisión de literatura pretende explicar cómo el nuevo coronavirus afecta a la salud bucodental y a la práctica diaria de la odontología. Métodos: Usamos bases de datos PubMed, SciELO y Wiley Online Library con las palabras clave “covid-19”, “dentistry”, “sars-cov-2”, “coronavirus”, “oral”, “manifestation”, “dental”, “periodontitis” y “aerosols”. También se examinaron publicaciones de organizaciones cientificas y webs de Odontostomatología. Sólo se incluyeron estudios realizados en humanos, escritos en inglés y español. Discusión: Los casos clínicos y series sobre las manifestaciones orales de la COVID-19 son escasos. Sus autores mencionan lesiones intraorales de muchas formas y localización diferentes que pueden deberse a la inmunodepresión originada por infección viral. Se necesita más evidencia científica para concluir sobre la semiología oral de la COVID-19. Las recomendaciones mundiales incluyen el uso de equipos de protección individual para los trabajadores y la desinfección frecuente de las superficies potencialmente contaminadas como medidas preventivas contra la transmisión del Sars-CoV-2. Los profesionales y especialistas de la odontología se ven obligados a cambiar sus protocolos y a desarrollar habilidades en telediagnóstico para garantizar una actividad más segura. Conclusión: Las profesiones odontológicas se ven muy afectadas por la aparición del Sars- CoV-2 y necesitan evolucionar y adaptarse a la nueva situación planteada por la pandemia del COVID-19. Es necesario adoptar medidas preventivas para proporcionar una atención sanitaria bucodental más segura y realizar exámenes intraorales de los pacientes afectados por COVID- 19 para diagnosticar y tratar las manifestaciones orales provocadas por esta enfermedad

Background: The new coronavirus, Sars-CoV-2, detected in China in December 2019 originated the global COVID-19 pandemic that affected more than 70 million of patients. The virus is highly infective through airborne contamination. Therefore, dentists are considered high risk professionals for contamination. They should be aware of transmission risks and follow official recommendations to protect themselves and their patients. Furthermore, human host cells for the virus are found in many vital organs but also in oral medium, which leads to investigate on possible oral affectations of COVID-19. Objective: This literature review aims to explain how the novel coronavirus disease outbreak impacts oral health and daily dental practice. Methods: We searched PubMed, SciELO and Wiley Online Library databases using the following keywords “covid-19”, “dentistry”, “sars-cov-2”, “coronavirus”, "oral", "manifestation", "dental", "periodontitis" and “aerosol”. Scientific organizations and odontostomatology websites were also screened for publications. Only human studies written in English and Spanish. Discussion: Case reports and series on COVID-19 oral manifestations are scarce. They mention many different types and locations of intraoral lesions that can be due to the immunodepression originated by the viral infection. More evidence is needed in the future to conclude on COVID- 19 oral semiology. Worldwide recommendations and guidelines include wearing personal protective equipment or frequent disinfection of touched areas of the dental clinic as preventive measures against Sars-CoV-2 transmission. Dental professionals and specialists are obligated to change their protocols and develop teledentistry skills to ensure a safer activity. Conclusion: Dental professions are highly affected by the Sars-CoV-2 emergence and needs to evolve and adapt to the new situation brought up by the COVID-19 pandemic. Preventive measures need to be taken to provide safe oral healthcare and intraoral examination of patients with COVID-19 should be carried out in order to diagnose and treat oral manifestations of the disease
