In September, the American Academy of Implant Dentistry published a white paper entitled "AAID White Paper: Management of the DentalImplant Patient During COVID-19 and Beyond” that addresses risks to patients and dental health care providers, transmission of saliva droplets, dental aerosols, methods for mitigation, including the proper way to equip dental offices. The paper addresses the following questions:
-
What are the primary COVID-19 factors that put patients and dental health care providers at risk?
-
What is the proper way to equip dental offices to mitigate the associated risk factors?
-
With regional spikes in COVID-19 cases, many dental offices may be mandated to close again except for emergency care. What constitutes an emergency for the implant dental practice?
-
Is it possible to collect data to assess the impact that the initial dental care “pauses” had on the oral health of dental implant patients?
