BACKGROUND: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been identified as a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020, and it affects all aspects of life, including dental care.
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this article is to explore the impact of COVID-19 on the daily operations of the stomatology department and provide some guidance for dental health care personnel around the world in continuing to provide exemplary care while limiting the spread of COVID-19.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective analyses were performed on dental patients' medical records from the stomatology department of the First People's Hospital of Yichang, China, which were collected in the pre-epidemic, epidemic, and post-epidemic periods. Hospital-wide triage and stomatology department-specific protocols were established in the hospital to prevent cross-infection during the COVID-19 pandemic.
RESULTS: The number of patients decreased and proportion of emergency cases increased during the epidemic period. With prevention protocols in place, the number of dental patients returned to the normal range with a slight elevation during the post-epidemic period. Thus far, there has not been a single documented case of COVID-19 related to dental treatment in the hospital.
CONCLUSIONS: COVID-19 has a major impact on daily life, including dental care services. Effective prevention and control measures including 3 levels of protection-zoning, instrumentation, and environmental disinfection-are needed for dental settings to provide care.
