VILLEGAS MAESTRE, José Daniel  and  FERRER ROSABAL, Lianet de la Caridad. Prevention and control measures of COVID-19 in stomatology: “the new normality”. Multimed [online]. 2021, vol.25, n.2, e2060.  Epub Mar 01, 2021. ISSN 1028-4818.

The emergence of the new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus poses a challenge for stomatologists and imposes the improvement of biosafety measures at work to prevent COVID-19 disease during the “new normal”. The objective of the study was to identify the prevention and control measures for COVID-19 in stomatology after the reopening of dental care services. The method was to carry out a qualitative approach based on a theoretical conception that allowed identifying the strategies outlined to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2 disease in the areas where dental work is carried out. It was concluded that the return to the "new normal" forced to raise the level of infection prevention and control in the dental office, in such a way that security is provided not only to patients, but also to work personnel and family members.

Keywords : Prevention; Control; Biosafety; Dentistry; New normality.
