Abstract(s)
No contexto da pandemia por SARS-CoV-2, em 2020 foram implementadas medidas para uma gestão controlada da propagação de contágio, minimizando ao máximo o risco de transmissão do vírus.
A Direção Geral da Saúde legislou normas e recomendações que conduziram à interrupção da atividade nos consultórios e clínicas de medicina dentária em março daquele ano, e à retoma daquela atividade dois meses depois. Em que, para além das precauções universais, recomendou-se a adoção de medidas que assegurem a proteção pelo contágio através de gotículas e aerossóis contaminados. Esta doença é de fácil e rápido contágio, visto que a sua principal via de transmissão é por contacto direto com gotículas salivares portadoras do vírus.
Os resultados desta revisão revelaram que as principais alterações orais associadas á COVID-19 são os distúrbios do paladar, xerostomia e ulcerações. Diversas manifestações orais foram observadas, contudo, não há evidências suficientes que comprovem uma relação de causalidade com a infeção por COVID-19. As implicações da COVID-19 no estado de saúde oral assentam na privação no acesso aos cuidados de saúde oral na fase de mitigação da COVID-19, o subdiagnóstico das manifestações orais na fase inicial da pandemia, e atualmente, desconhece-se uma associação cientificamente consistente entre a COVID-19 e as manifestações orais da doença.

In which, in addition to universal precautions, the adoption of measures to ensure protection from contagion through contaminated droplets and aerosols was recommended. This disease is easy and fast to spread, as its main transmission route is through direct contact with salivary droplets carrying the virus. The results of this review revealed that the main oral alterations associated with COVID-19 are taste disturbances, xerostomia and ulcerations. Several oral manifestations were observed, however, there is insufficient evidence to prove a causal relationship with COVID-19 infection. The implications of COVID-19 in the oral health status are based on the deprivation of access to oral health care in the mitigation phase of COVID-19, the underdiagnosis of oral manifestations in the initial phase of the pandemic, and currently, a scientific association is unknown. consistent between COVID-19 and the oral manifestations of the disease.
