Abstract

The new Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19), which has been declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization and has spread over our nation in a short time, is a highly critical public health problem. The transmission routes of this viral infection, which generally starts with clinical symptoms such as fever, cough and muscle pain / weakness, are direct contact, droplet and aerosol delivery. The potential of aerosols formed during dental treatments to spread the infection to physicians, assistants and others is quite high. Although it is not possible to eliminate this risk completely, it is possible to minimize it with simple additional measures. This article reviews the epidemiology, symptoms and routes of transmission of COVID-19 infection, and evaluates infection control strategies and additional measures for safe dental practice.

Özet

Dünya Sağlık Örgütü tarafından pandemik olarak ilan edilen ve ülkemiz genelini de kısa sürede etkisi altına alan yeni Corona Virüs Hastalığı (COVID-19), çok kritik bir toplum sağlığı problemidir. Yaygın olarak ateş, öksürük ve kas ağrısı/ halsizlik gibi klinik semptomlarla başlayarak ilerleyen bu viral enfeksiyonun bulaşma yolları direkt temas, damlacık ve aerosol iletimidir. Diş tedavileri sırasında oluşan aerosollerin hekimlere, yardımcı personele ve ortamda bulunan diğer kişilere enfeksiyonu yayma potansiyeli oldukça yüksektir. Bu riski tamamen ortadan kaldırmak mümkün olmasa da alınan basit ek önlemler ile minimuma indirmek mümkündür. Bu makalede, COVID-19 enfeksiyonunun epidemiyolojisi, semptomları ve bulaşma yolları gözden geçirilerek, güvenli diş hekimliği uygulamaları için enfeksiyon kontrol stratejileri ve alınabilecek ek önlemler değerlendirilmektedir.
