Abstract

Dentists are exposed to the highest risk of occupational respiratory and droplet infections by working face-to-face with patients in an area that exists microbiota, often exposed to body fluids like saliva, blood and gingival crevicular fluid during the study, and procedures performed with air and water powered sharp instruments. So, interim guidelines were prepared during novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. According to the guidelines, dental facilities postponed elective procedures, surgeries, and non-urgent dental visits, and prioritized urgent and emergency visits and procedures. Urgent applications in dentistry during the pandemic process can be carried out in line with standard infection control measures and only with a number of additions such as a special change in personal protective equipment. Accordingly, each clinic should organize its own risk analysis and prepare protocols specific to this period. In this review, to be a guide for dentists, the differences in personal protective equipment recommended for dentistry procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic period, patient acceptance criteria; Algorithms for screening the patients for COVID-19 Status and Triaging for Dental Treatment related to the guidance and patient care of patients with suspected COVID-19 are explained in line with the recommendations of US Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC), American Dental Association (ADA), Turkish Dental Association (TDB) and Ministry of Health of Turkish Republic.

Özet

Diş hekimi, mikrobiyotası olan bir alanda hastalarla yüz yüze çalışan, çalışma sırasında sıklıkla tükürük, kan ve dişeti oluk sıvısı gibi vücut sıvılarına maruz kalan ve kullandığı hızla dönen hava ve su ile çalışan keskin aletler ile yapılan işlemlerle solunum ve damlacık yoluyla bulaşan infeksiyon riskine en yüksek düzeyde maruz kalan meslek grubundadır. Bu nedenle yeni koronovirus infeksiyonu-2019 (COVID-19) pandemisi süresince uygulanacak geçici rehberler hazırlanmıştır. Bu rehberlere göre, COVID-19 pandemisi sürecinde olası ya da onaylanmış COVID-19 tanısı alan ya da şüphesi bulunan bireylerin rutin diş tedavileri yapılmaması ve diğer tüm bireyler için acil olmayan diş tedavilerinin ertelenmesi yönünde karar alınmıştır. Pandemi sürecinde diş hekimliğinde acil uygulamalar, standart infeksiyon kontrol önlemleri doğrultusunda ve ancak kişisel koruyucu ekipmanlarda özel değişiklik gibi bir takım eklemeler ile gerçekleştirilebilmektedir. Bu doğrultuda, her klinik kendi risk analizini yaparak bu döneme özel protokoller düzenlemelidir. Bu derlemede, COVID-19 pandemi döneminde diş hekimlerine rehber olması amacıyla, diş hekimliği işlemleri için önerilen kişisel koruyucu donanımlardaki farklılıklar, hasta kabul kriterleri; triajı ile COVID-19 şüpheli hastaların yönlendirilmesi ve hasta bakımı ile ilgili Amerikan Hastalık Kontrol ve Önleme Merkezi (CDC), Amerikan Diş Hekimleri Birliği (ADA), Türk Diş Hekimliği Birliği (TDB) ve T.C. Sağlık Bakanlığı önerileri doğrultusunda oluşturulmuş algoritmalar anlatılmıştır.
