ABSTRACT
RESUMEN Fundamento: Los adultos mayores son un grupo vulnerable en el contexto actual de pandemia por COVID-19, debido al confinamiento su salud mental y física se deteriora; de ahí, la importancia del uso de Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación que contribuyen a su bienestar emocional, al favorecer las relaciones sociales. Objetivo: Identificar la relación que tienen las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación en el bienestar emocional de los adultos mayores durante la pandemia por COVID-19. Desarrollo: Se realizaron búsquedas en PubMed, Web of Science, SciELO y LILACS con la utilización de los términos pandemic, COVID-19, mental health, emotional well-being, loneliness, social media, social connections, digital platforms, older people, elderly people, ICT y social networking sites. Se tuvieron en cuenta criterios de inclusión y exclusión. En estudios transversales se encontró una asociación entre el bienestar emocional y el uso de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación, sin embargo, un número importante de estudios empíricos identificaron la brecha digital como un obstáculo para que los adultos mayores pudieran usar las tecnologías como un medio para la interacción. Conclusiones: Los resultados de la revisión muestran una relación positiva entre el bienestar emocional y el uso de las TIC; se considera relevante continuar con la investigación en adultos mayores sometidos a confinamiento.
ABSTRACT Background: Older adults are a vulnerable group in the current context of the COVID-19 pandemic, due to confinement their mental and physical health deteriorates; hence, the importance of the use of Information and Communication Technologies that contribute to their emotional well-being, by favoring social relationships. Objective: Identify the relationship that Information and Communication Technologies have on the emotional well-being of older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. Development: Searches were made in PubMed, Web of Science, SciELO and LILACS using the terms pandemic, COVID-19, mental health, emotional well-being, loneliness, social media, social connections, digital platforms, older people, elderly people, ICT and social networking sites. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were taken into account. In cross-sectional studies, an association was found between emotional well-being and the use of Information and Communication Technologies, however, a significant number of empirical studies identified the digital divide as an obstacle for older adults to be able to use technologies as a medium for interaction.

Resumen Objetivo: Identificar las principales manifestaciones y describir su ubicación en la cavidad oral en pacientes COVID-19. Métodos: Se utilizaron las bases de datos PubMed, Medline, LILACS, LIVIVO, Web of Science y SciELO; utilizando los términos de búsqueda oral mucosa, oral mucosa lesion, oral manifestations, COVID-19 y SARS-CoV-2. Se eliminaron duplicados, luego se realizó preselección de artículos, y finalmente se aplicaron los criterios de inclusión y exclusión. Resultados: Se seleccionaron 47 publicaciones, encontrando manifestaciones orales en pacientes COVID-19 tales como alteración en gusto, xerostomía, úlceras, vesículas, entre otras; ubicándose en diferentes áreas de la mucosa oral. Conclusiones: Se necesitan más estudios para vislumbrar la posible etiopatogenia a nivel oral del SARS-CoV-2. Además, se destaca el rol del odontólogo en el equipo multidisciplinario y en la teleconsulta.
Resumo Objetivo: Identificar as principais manifestações e descobrir sua ubiquação na cavidade oral em pacientes com COVID-19. Método: Foram utilizadas as bases de dados PubMed, Medline, LILACS, LIVIVO, Web of Science e SciELO; utilizando os termos de pesquisa oral mucosa, oral mucosa lesion, oral manifestations, COVID-19 e SARS-CoV-2. Duplicadas foram removidas, depois uma pré-seleção de artigos foi feita, e finalmente os critérios de inclusão e exclusão foram aplicados. Resultados: Foram selecionadas 47 publicações, encontrando manifestações orais em pacientes com COVID-19, tais como alterações no paladar, xerostomia, ulcerações, vesículas, entre outros; localizando-as em diferentes áreas da mucosa oral. Conclusão: São precisos mais estudos pra vislumbrar a possível etiopatogenia a nível oral do SARS-CoV-2. Ademais, destaca-se o role do odontólogo na equipe multidisciplinar e na tele consulta.
Abstract Objective: Identify the main oral manifestations associated with COVID19 and describe their location in the oral cavity. Methods: The literature search was conducted in PubMed, Medline, LILACS, LIVIVO, Web of Science, and SciELO. The following words were searched for: oral mucosa, oral mucosa lesion, oral manifestations, COVID-19, and SARS-CoV-2. Duplicate articles were eliminated, and the pieces were shortlisted. Finally, inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied. Results: This study included 47 articles. The main oral manifestations in patients with COVID-19 are taste disorders, xerostomia, ulcers, vesicles, and others located in different areas of the oral mucosa. Conclusions More studies are needed to determine the potential oral etiopathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2. Moreover, dentists play a significant role in the multidisciplinary and telemedicine team.
