A doença do novo Coronavírus 2019 (COVID-19) surgiu em Hubei, Wuhan na China, a Dezembro de 2019. O patógeno foi identificado como o “Novo Corona Vírus 2019” (2019-nCoV) e a doença designada de “doença do Coronavírus 2019” (COVID-19). A subsistência deste vírus na saliva dos pacientes é um fator de extrema importância relativamente ao risco que o profissional de Medicina Dentária experienciará na sua prática, como tal deve existir uma busca constante por novas evidências para que seja possível providenciar uma prática segura para toda a equipa e paciente. Os profissionais de Medicina Dentária são dos grupos de profissionais que apresentam maior proximidade com a comunidade e potencialmente mais passiveis de estar em contacto com o vírus, como tal diversas precauções deverão ser tomadas, tais como, introdução de metodologias de triagem, a disponibilização de equipamentos de proteção individual e instrução relativa ao seu modo de uso e remoção segura, evidências relativas aos melhores métodos de limpeza desinfeção dos espaços das clínicas, processos de esterilização de material e o contacto com o laboratório de próteses. Esta Revisão da Narrativa reúne conteúdos até à data de 13 de Agosto de 2020, sendo o objetivo principal agrupar evidências relativas às metodologias a seguir no decorrer desta pandemia pelos profissionais de Medicina Dentária e toda a equipa para que a prática clínica possa ser realizada com o menor risco de contágio possível tanto para o dentista como para o paciente.
The new Coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID-19) appeared in Hubei, Wuhan, China, in December 2019. The pathogen was identified as the “New Corona Virus 2019” (2019-nCoV) and the disease called “Coronavirus disease” 2019 "(COVID-19). The subsistence of this virus in patients' saliva is an extremely important factor in relation to the risk that dentistry professionals are experiencing in their practice, so there must be a constant search for new evidence so that it is possible to provide safe practice for the entire team and patient. Dental Medicine professionals are from the group of professionals who are closer to the community and potentially more passive of being in contact with the virus, as such, several precautions must be undertaken, such as the introduction of screening methodologies, the availability of equipment individual protection and relative to its way of use and safe removal, evidence regarding the best cleaning methods, disinfection of clinic spaces, material sterilization processes and contact with the prosthesis laboratory. This Narrative review gathers content up to the date of August 13, 2020, the main objective being to gather evidence related to the methodologies to be followed during this pandemic by dental professionals and the entire team so that clinical practice can be carried out with the lowest risk of contagion as much as possible for the dentist and the patient.
