Protocolos de bioseguridad en época de pandemia COVID-19 aplicados en Centroamérica, Suramérica y Colombia Revisión sistemática 2019-2021

Abstract

COVID-19 was declared a pandemic; this virus called SARS -CoV-2 is transmitted from an infected person to another person, through small liquid particles when they cough, sneeze, speak or breathe, during dental procedures that produce aerosols in closed areas with poor ventilation; This ease of spread is a cause for concern due to the high risk of acquiring the disease on the part of health professionals, as they are directly exposed to greater contact with oral fluids such as saliva and blood; therefore, biosafety and infection control measures are based on protocols where discipline and commitment are required for compliance with COVID-19 biosafety standards by the oral health profession.
