Conference summary
The new COVID-19 pandemic is an example of a public health emergency with a global impact, associated with important social and economic challenges. The potential exposure that the oral health team is subjected to, infection control practises including the use of personal protective equipment are crucial to a successful control of nosocomial outbreaks, and need to be appropriate to the pathogen transmission route. In this presentation the personal protective equipment levels and protocols will be systematically described according to the exposure risk of each procedure, based on the critical appraisal of the best available evidence.
