ABSTRACT
@#The COVID-19 pandemic, as a global health concern, has affected worldwide medical practice.1 2 Medical services had to be altered—if not halted altogether—to adapt to drastic changes in infection control protocols.3 Dental practice is not spared from this development since dental health care practitioners (DHCP) are at increased risk of occupational exposure to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.4 Most dental procedures generate significant amounts of droplets and aerosol, which could promote spread of COVID-19 infection.
