ABSTRACT
Introduction: The SARS-CoV-2 virus pandemic has caused global problems in various areas of life and has a huge impact on the functioning of health care and the medical profession. This virus was a new threat to the health of each of us, so the daily medical practice required safeguards that previously did not have to be used. This is especially important in a dental practice where virus transmission through aerosol can easily occur. Aim: The aim of the study is to develop current recommendations for the organization of work in a dental office during the COVID-19 pandemic based on the applicable guidelines and normative acts. Material and methods: The contents of the "Recommendations for the procedure for the provision of dental services in the situation of an epidemic announced in the territory of the Republic of Poland in relation to SARS-CoV-2 virus infections", published by the Ministry of Health, and recommendations of the Working Group of the Polish Dental Society were used. Results: The results constitute a set of practical tips for the functioning of a dentist's office in a state of epidemic. Conclusions: In the event of an epidemic, refer to current guidelines. It is essential to provide urgent medical care to acute patients and schedule appointments as needed.
