Abstract

2019 yılı sonunda COVID-19 olarak tanımlanan, , atipik ve hızlı yayılabilen bir pnömoni türü tanımlanmıştır. Bu hastalık çok kısa bir süre sonra Dünya Sağlık Örgütü tarafından pandemi olarak ilan edilmiştir. Dental işlemler sonucu oluşan damlacık ve aerosoller ile kontamine olan hekim, hasta ve çalışanlar dental klinik ortamını hızla enfekte ederek hastalığın yayılmasına sebep olabilirler. Bu salgın ortamında diş hekimleri ve yardımcılarına da salgının yayılmasının önüne geçilmesi aşamasında önemli görevler düşmektedir. Hastalığın bulaş ve yayılması açısından oldukça riskli alanlardan biri olan diş kliniklerinde, acil sağlık hizmetlerini aksatmadan, alınacak en yüksek tedbir ve dikkatle bu sürecin yönetimi yapılmadır. Bu derlemede diş hekimlerine klinikte alabilecekleri önlemlerle ilgili ilgili bilgiler sunulmuştur.

COVID-19 Infection In Terms of Dentistry and Dental Clinics.

Abstract

An atypical and infectious type of pneumonia, defined as COVID-19, has been identified at the end of 2019. This disease was declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Dentists, patients and employees who are contaminated with droplets and aerosols formed as a result of dental procedures can be quickly infected. In this epidemic environment, dentists and their assistants also have important duties to prevent the spread of the epidemic. Dentists should be able to manage of this process with the highest precaution in their clinics, which is one of the risky areas for the transmission and spread of the disease, without disrupting the emergency health services. In this review, dentists are provided with relevant information about the precautions of which they can take in their clinic.
