More research highlighting evidence-based safety practices and multisectoral collaboration is required to help dental professionals make informed decisions and make the profession safe, both for the patient and dental professionals.ĬOVID-19 dental practice dentistry infection control management oral health pandemic simulation. Conclusions: Although the COVID-19 pandemic has had a substantial impact on the dental profession worldwide, our review highlights many practice management approaches to adopt the new norm. Psychological distress among dental professionals in relation to existing medical conditions and self-efficacy has been discussed. Limiting the number of patients in the waiting area, the removal of shared objects, proper ventilation, and physical distancing were highly recommended. Three studies recommended that elective treatments for patients with a temperature of >100.4 F or 38 ☌ should be postponed or performed in an airborne infection isolation room (AIIR) or negative-pressure room. Telephone triage using a questionnaire, hand hygiene, personal protective equipment (PPE) for clinical and nonclinical staff, a preprocedural mouth rinse, and aerosol management have been discussed and implemented in few countries. Management of infection control is discussed extensively in the literature and remains the main theme of many Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) articles on dentistry. Results: After a careful review and eliminating articles based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, the final review included 13 articles. The search yielded the following results: "COVID-19" ( n = 12,137), "Novel corona virus" ( n = 63), "COVID-19 and dentistry" ( n = 46), "COVID-19 and oral health" ( n = 41), "Novel Corona virus and Dentistry" ( n = 0), "dental health and Novel Coronavirus" ( n = 26), and "dental practice and Novel Coronavirus" ( n = 6). be treated in negative pressure rooms or airborne infection isolation rooms. Materials and Methods: A sequential systematic literature search was conducted from December 2019 to 30 April 2020 through PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Google Scholar, Embase, and Web of Science databases.

Background and Objectives: The aims of this systematic review were to identify additional infection control measures implemented in dental practice globally to prevent cross-infection and evaluate the psychological impacts of the pandemic among dental professionals.
