Treatment Measures in the Face of Viruses and Infectious Diseases and their Impact on Causing Oral and Dental and Cardiac Diseases and Its Challenges

Abstract

Due to the characteristics of the dental environment, the risk of transmission of infection can be high among patients and dentists. Strict and effective infection control protocols are urgently needed for dental offices and hospitals in areas affected by Covid-19. The World Health Organization announced that the outbreak of the Corona virus has created an urgent public health concern at the international level. As of February 26, 2020, Covid-19 is known in 34 countries, with a total of 239,80 laboratory-confirmed cases and 2,700 deaths. Current observations suggest that people of all ages are generally susceptible to this new infectious disease. However, those in close contact with symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with COVID-19, including medical staff and other hospitalized patients, are at higher risk for CoV-SARS-2 infection. This article, based on the experiences of China and other leading countries, as well as relevant guidelines and conducted research, presents treatment measures in the face of viruses and infectious diseases and their impact on causing oral and dental diseases and its challenges. Provides recommended management protocols for dentists and students in affected areas.
