Conference summary
Year and a half of coexistence and still so few certainties regarding the pathophysiology of SARS-CoV-2. There is still a gap in the quality of scientific evidence that is published, which represents 90% of current scientific production.
Nevertheless, despite the public health measures being more relaxed and the vaccination program being effectively implemented, it is early to soften the protocols and procedures in daily clinical practice.
The practice of Dentistry, despite being sensitive in the context of a pandemic, is also the only one that has the best domain in terms of personal protective equipment.
The risk of contracting the disease is still real, as is the likelihood of caring for asymptomatic patients. On that basis, the entire medical team must act with the awareness that the patient may be a carrier of the virus and therefore, do not make it easy!
