Conference summary
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed decisively everyone’s daily routines. Since dental offices have reopened, systematic and well-defined measures were advocated to limit the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus among patients, doctor’s, assistants and staff. Fear of exposure to the virus may patients delay or avoid seeking necessary oral health care. Those measures clearly communicated, consistently implemented and further updated, as new evidence becomes available, will improve internal clinical safety and engender patient confidence.
This lecture will address a science-based guideline focused on the steps of pre-screening and patient reception in the appointment scheduled day.
