ABSTRACT
COVID-19 emerged in China in the last month of 2019 and caused a global pandemic. It was stated that it is more rapidly spreading and contagious than SARS-COV and MERS-COV. Aerosol and droplet spreading are the most common modes of transmission of COVID-19 and are a con- cern in most dental procedures. For this reason, the popularity of minimally invasive dental pro- cedures is increasing due to the advantage of minimal aerosol formation and reducing the risk of COVID-19 cross-infection. Pediatric dentists may also prefer these procedures more frequently because of their high acceptability by children. This review article aims to explain the changes that may occur in dentistry and pediatric dentistry procedures as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Keywords: COVID-19, aerosol, pediatric dentistry, minimally invasive dentistry

ÖZ
COVID-19, 2019 yılının son döneminde Çin’de ortaya çıkmıştır ve tüm dünyaya yayılarak pande- miye neden olmuştur. SARS-CoV ve MERS-CoV'a göre daha hızlı yayıldığı ve bulaştırıcılığının daha fazla olduğu belirtilmektedir. COVID-19'un en önemli bulaş yolu aerosol ve damlacık yayılımı ile olmaktadır. Hemen hemen çoğu diş hekimliği prosedürü de aerosol ve damlacık oluşmasına ve yayılmasına neden olabilmektedir. Bu nedenle hem diş hekimlerini hem de hastaları koruyabilmek ve çapraz enfeksiyon riskini azaltabilmek için aerosol oluşumunun hiç veya minimal olması avan- tajı nedeniyle minimal invaziv diş hekimliği uygulamalarının popülerliği COVID-19 pandemisiyle birlikte giderek artmaktadır. Çocuklar tarafından kabul edilebilirliğinin yüksek olması da çocuk diş hekimlerinin bu prosedürleri daha sık tercih etmesini sağlayabilmektedir. Bu derlemenin amacı COVID-19 pandemisiyle birlikte diş hekimliği ve çocuk diş hekimliği prosedürlerinde oluşabilecek değişiklikleri anlatmaktır.
