As the COVID-19 pandemic is increasingly griping the world, the entire landscape of existing patient management needs to be changed to avoid spread of Corona virus. In cases of emergencies, there is no option other than getting in-person consultations with doctors. But, in non-emergency patients, telemedicine can serve as a boon.
In this article, we have tried to summarize the rules, regulations and protocols in accordance with government guidelines along with practical management for urgencies in dento-/oro-facial pains.
If used wisely and as per recommendations, telemedicine is a very useful tool in the present COVID-19 pandemic, to avoid spread of infection to patients as well as health care workers.
随着新冠疫情在全球范围内日益严重，现有的患者管理模式需要全面变革，以防止冠状病毒传播。在紧急情况下，除了亲自与医生会诊外别无他法。但对于非紧急患者，远程医疗可发挥重要作用。
在本文中，我们试图根据政府指导方针总结相关规则、条例和方案，以及牙/颌面疼痛急症的实际管理方法。
如果明智地使用并遵循建议，远程医疗在当前新冠疫情中是一种非常有用的工具，可避免感染传播给患者及医护人员。
