Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Due to the unique nature of dentistry, most dental procedures generate significant amounts of droplets and aerosols, posing potential risks of infection transmission. Recent studies have demonstrated the role of the oral mucosa in COVID-19 infection, in addition to expressing the ACE2 receptor in salivary glands in the asymptomatic process in infected saliva, thus being one of the main sources of viruses.
Clinical features of COVID-19 in children include fever and cough, but a large proportion of infected children appears to be asymptomatic and may contribute significantly to transmission. Therefore, it can be assumed that, at this stage in the pandemic, all children and their parents/carers are potentially infective with the potential of cross-infection to dental stuff, parents and the public. This has, in theory, an impact on medical and dental procedures that are Aerosol Generating Procedures.
