RESUMEN
RESUMEN La pandemia por COVID-19 ha hecho que la atención odontológica de rutina se suspenda. La causa principal es el pobre control del aerosol en la consulta dental. Los aerosoles liberados por el instrumental odontológico son esenciales para la remoción de los tejidos bucales enfermos. Sin embargo, al mezclarse con saliva o sangre contaminada, los aerosoles pueden diseminar microorganismos infectivos fuera de la boca del paciente. Existe evidencia de que el SARS-CoV-2 se encuentra en la saliva del 91,7 % de los sujetos enfermos. Este artículo presenta evidencias y reflexiones para el control del aerosol odontológico, las que podrían permitir aumentar la seguridad del ejercicio de la odontología durante la pandemia y pospandemia.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic has caused routine dental check-ups to be cancelled. The main cause is poor aerosol control in the dental office. Aerosols released by dental instruments are essential for the removal of diseased oral tissues. However, when mixed with saliva or contaminated blood, aerosols can spread infectious microorganisms out of the patient's mouth. In addition, SARS-CoV-2 has been detected in the self-collected saliva of 91.7 % of patients. This article presents evidence and reflections for the control of dental aerosol, which could allow increasing the safety of dental practice during the pandemic and post-pandemic.
