ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

The global outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has led all dental governing bodies across the world to minimize or cancel routine/elective dental procedures and limit dental services to only acute emergency situations. Orthodontic treatment is a long-term treatment that necessitates several appointments. However, if patients are left unsupervised during this pandemic, serious harms might arise apart from acute orthodontic emergencies.

Objective:

In this article we highlight these harms and their negative impact on patients and the overall success of their treatment.

Conclusion:

We briefly presented actions needed to be undertaken by orthodontists to gradually allow for recalling patients according to the stage of their treatment to avoid any potential harms to the treatment outcome and avoid any subsequent medicolegal consequences.
RESUMO
RESUMO

Introdução:

O surto global do coronavírus 2019 (COVID-19) levou todos os órgãos diretivos de Odontologia, ao redor do mundo, a minimizar ou cancelar procedimentos odontológicos de rotina/eletivos e limitar os serviços odontológicos apenas a situações de emergência aguda. O tratamento ortodôntico é um tratamento de longa duração que requer várias consultas. No entanto, se os pacientes não forem supervisionados durante essa pandemia, danos graves podem surgir, além das emergências ortodônticas.

Objetivo:

No presente trabalho, destacamos esses danos e seu impacto negativo nos pacientes e no sucesso geral de seus tratamentos.

Conclusão:

Foram apresentadas, resumidamente, as ações que devem ser realizadas pelos ortodontistas para gradualmente retomar o atendimento dos pacientes, conforme o estágio de seu tratamento, para evitar quaisquer danos potenciais ao desfecho do tratamento e evitar quaisquer consequências médico-legais subsequentes.
