Description

Just one year ago a viral pneumonia of unknown cause - COVID-19 - identified in Wuhan, China, was reported to the WHO, which on March 11 th 2020 made the assessment that the disease could be characterized as a pandemic. The world went into a total lockdown and many dental practices were operative only for emergency procedures. Since more than three decades the dental profession has demonstrated to tackle virus outbreaks appropriately and to be prepared and trained to carry out oral disease prevention and oral healthcare while maintaining patient- and team-safety, as well as quality of care. Is dentistry still the pioneering profession of the concept of prevention in COVID-19 times, is it safe, can it still be accessible and affordable for all, what is the financial impact of the new disease on professionals and patients, and is the profession considered in government emergency programs from PPE provision to vaccination? This conglomerate of questions will be addressed and discussed during the lecture.
