COVID-19 is an emerging infectious disease with widespread transmission of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 in the Netherlands. Some of those infected become seriously ill. Others do not show any symptoms, but can still contribute to the transmission of the virus. SARS-CoV-2 is excreted in the oral cavity and can be spread via aerosols. Therefore, there is an increased risk of its spread during aerosol-producing treatments in dental care clinics. Due to the risk of infection of dental care workers and patients, and based on the evidence currently available, additional infection control measures for all patients are strongly recommended when providing emergency dental care in this phase of the pandemic. Other treatments should be postponed. Based on guidance in scientific literature and advice from the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM), consideration should be given to what infection control measures are necessary when providing emergency and regular dental care in both the current situation and in the future.
COVID-19是一种新出现的传染病，冠状病毒SARS-CoV-2在荷兰广泛传播。一些感染者病情严重。其他人没有任何症状，但仍可能导致病毒传播。SARS-CoV-2在口腔中排出，可通过气溶胶传播。因此，在牙科护理诊所进行产生气溶胶的治疗期间，其传播风险增加。由于牙科护理人员和患者存在感染风险，并且基于目前可得的证据，在大流行的这一阶段提供紧急牙科护理时，强烈建议对所有患者采取额外的感染控制措施。其他治疗应推迟。根据科学文献中的指导以及荷兰国家公共卫生和环境研究所（RIVM）的建议，应考虑在当前和未来情况下提供紧急和常规牙科护理时需要采取哪些感染控制措施。
