Abstract

The pandemic declared by SARS-CoV-2 has meant a crisis in the health system that forced the urgent implementation of preventive public health measures. The respiratory transmission virus remains stable on surfaces, being able to spread by air in respiratory droplets or in procedures that generate aerosols. Dental activity is one of the professional sectors with the highest exposure index, both due to the generation of aerosols in most interventions, as well as the impossibility of maintaining a safe distance between patients and professionals. The postponement of scheduled and non-urgent healthcare activities in dental offices is one of the measures implemented to reduce the risk that it posed for the health and well-being of citizens. This report addresses the recommendations and measures to be taken into account to minimize risks in the Oral Health Units of the Andalusian Public Health System, to address the oral pathology of the population assigned in the scenario of improvement of the pandemic and its partial lack of confinement.
La pandemia declarada por SARS-CoV-2 ha supuesto una crisis en el sistema sanitario que obligó a la implementación urgente de medidas preventivas de salud pública. El virus de transmisión respiratoria permanece estable en superficies, pudiéndose propagar por vía aérea en gotitas respiratorias o en procedimientos que generan aerosoles. La actividad odontológica es uno de los sectores profesionales con mayor índice de exposición, tanto por la generación de aerosoles en la mayor parte de las intervenciones, así como por la imposibilidad de mantener una distancia de seguridad entre paciente y profesionales. El aplazamiento de las actividades sanitarias programadas y no urgentes en los gabinetes dentales son una de las medidas implantadas para disminuir el riesgo que supone para la salud y el bienestar de la ciudadanía. Este informe abordó las recomendaciones y medidas a tener en cuenta para minimizar riesgos en las Unidades de Salud Bucodental del Sistema Sanitario Público Andaluz, para atender la patología bucodental de la población asignada en el escenario de mejora de la pandemia y su desconfinamiento parcial.
