Renewed Infection Control Methods in Dentistry Practice with COVID-19 Pandemic

Merve Demir, Kıvanç Bektaş Kayhan

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has affected our country and the whole world in a short time and has become a major health problem all over the globe. COVID-19, which spread rapidly following the first cases reported in China in December 2019, was declared to be a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020. It has been reported that the disease is transmitted from person to person through droplets, that it causes high fever in individuals, that the symptoms of the disease are a cough and shortness of breath in the airways and that it is a disease that can affect the health of some individuals to the point of death. With the rising numbers of cases in our country, a variety of information has started to be shared regarding the protection of individuals at risk, especially healthcare professionals. It is reported that dentists are in a high risk group for disease transmission and cross-infection, due to the inability in dental practices to maintain the required social distance for the prevention of the spread of the disease and the high probability of the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 responsible for COVID-19 through aerosols and droplets during clinical procedures. Therefore, it is critical for dental professionals working during the COVID-19 epidemic to know and apply all necessary precautions to prevent the spread of the disease. In this article, infection control measures to be taken in dentistry practice during the COVID-19 epidemic were presented by compiling the current literature, including difficulties that may be encountered in this period and suggestions to dentists.

COVID-19 Pandemisi ile Diş Hekimliği Pratiğinde Yenilenen Enfeksiyon Kontrol Yöntemleri

Merve Demir, Kıvanç Bektaş Kayhan

Kısa sürede ülkemizi ve tüm dünya nüfusunu etkileyen koronavirüs hastalığı (COVID-19) tüm dünyada önemli bir sağlık sorunu haline gelmiştir. İlk defa 2019 yılının Aralık ayında Çin’de bildirilen vakaların ardından hızla yayılan COVID-19, Dünya Sağlık Örgütü tarafından 11 Mart 2020 tarihinde pandemi (küresel salgın) olarak tanımlanmıştır. Hastalığın bulaş yolunun bireyler arası temas ve havadaki damlacık partikülleri olduğu, bireylerde yüksek ateş, öksürük ve nefes darlığı semptomlarına sebep olarak sağlığı ölümcül düzeyde etkileyebildiği bildirilmiştir. Vakaların ülkemizde tanımlanmasının ardından sağlık personeli dahil yüksek risk grubundaki bireylerin ve toplumdaki tüm bireylerin korunmasına yönelik birçok mecradan konuyla ilgili bilgiler paylaşılmaya başlanmıştır. Oldukça bulaşıcı olan bu virüsten korunmak için önemli bir husus olan sosyal mesafe, diş hekimliği pratiğinde yeterince sağlanamamaktadır. Ayrıca klinik işlemler ile oluşabilecek aerosol ve damlacık kaynaklı SARS-CoV-2 virüsünün yayılmasının artabileceği ve bu nedenle diş hekimlerinin hastalığa yakalanmada ve çapraz enfeksiyon oluşturmada yüksek risk grubunda olduğu bildirilmektedir. Bu nedenle, COVID-19 küresel salgını sürecinde diş hekimliği personelinin virüsün yayılmasının önüne geçebilmek için enfeksiyon kontrol ve koruma yöntemlerini bilmesi ve uygulaması oldukça önemlidir. Bu makalede küresel salgın sürecinde ve gelişebilecek yeni küresel salgınlarda diş hekimliğinde bilinmesi ve uygulanması gereken enfeksiyon kontrol yöntemleri ve bu süreçte gelişebilecek zorlukları tanımlayarak öneriler sunan güncel literatür bilgileri derlenmiştir.
