The COVID-19 pandemic has posed an extraordinary challenge to the world. Dental healthcare personnel are considered to be at high risk as they work in close proximity to the oral cavity of patients. New procedures of approach and management should be incorporated in different aspects of routine dental practice. In addition, pediatric dentists are posed with unique and extraordinary challenges of parental anxiety and behavioral guidance of pediatric patients and parents/guardians. The aim of this study was to highlight the changing perceptions of pediatric dental practice as the 'new normal' in the post-COVID era.
新冠疫情给全球带来了前所未有的挑战。由于口腔医生在治疗过程中需要近距离接触患者口腔,因此被视为高危人群。在日常口腔治疗的各个方面,都应采取新的接触和管理措施。此外,儿童牙医还面临着患儿及其家长/监护人的焦虑情绪以及行为引导方面的独特而又特殊的挑战。本研究旨在强调在新冠疫情后时代,儿童口腔医学实践的观念变化,即“新常态”。
