The pandemic situation has led to public health measures that have forced patients with and without the SARS-CoV-2 virus to remain isolated and take steps to prevent the spread. Many of these patients have been unable to attend the control of medical-dental services, which in many cases complicates their situation. This study reports on the oral manifestations of an asymptomatic COVID-19 patient treated interdisciplinary by teleconsultation due to the sudden appearance of lesions in the oral mucosa. Lesions are diagnosed, therapeutic measures are taken, and improvement is shown. This case shows that the problems that arise in the oral mucosa in patients with suspected or confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection can be monitored through interdisciplinary teleconsultation during the pandemic with the support of information technology currently available worldwide. It also decreases the risk of transmission of SARS-Cov-2 between patients and health professionals.
大流行情况导致了公共卫生措施,迫使患有和不患有 SARS-CoV-2 病毒的患者保持隔离并采取措施防止传播。许多患者无法接受医疗牙科服务的控制,这在很多情况下使他们的病情复杂化。本研究报告了一名无症状 COVID-19 患者因口腔黏膜突然出现病变而通过远程咨询进行跨学科治疗的口腔表现。诊断出病变,采取了治疗措施,并显示出改善。该病例表明,在大流行期间,通过跨学科远程咨询,并在全球范围内现有的信息技术的支持下,可以监测疑似或确诊 SARS-CoV-2 感染患者口腔黏膜中出现的问题。它还降低了 SARS-CoV-2 在患者和卫生专业人员之间传播的风险。
