This review was conducted in order to learn the latest information about how to prevent cross-infection of COVID-19 in dentistry. The aim of this study is offer a clinical protocol to reduce the risk of infection of COVID-19 in dental settings.
We carried out a review based on the PRISMA guide (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). We used the following three databases: PubMed, Embase and Scopus. The search strategy was performed in the three databases applying the search terms "COVID-19 AND dental", "COVID-19 AND dentistry", selecting human studies published from November 2019 to May 2020. English publications regarding COVID-19 as the central topic of the research were eligible for inclusion, regardless of study design. There are very few published studies on the association between COVID-19 and dentistry, for that reason we also included the English abstract of two studies written in Chinese. The following exclusion criteria were established: animal studies and in vitro studies.
The search identified a total of 212 articles, of which 54 were preselected, and 23 were finally included in the review on the basis of the inclusion and exclusion criteria. We collected all the information about routes of general and oral infection, dental patient evaluation and cross-infection control in Dental Clinic in the selected studies.
Cross infection in the dental clinic involve a very important risk due to the return to dental settings after periods of social isolation of the population after the epidemic outbreak of SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, we must take adequate and sufficient security measures to protect the patients and the dental clinic staff.

进行本综述是为了了解牙科领域预防新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）交叉感染的最新信息。本研究的目的是提供一个临床方案，以降低牙科环境中感染COVID-19的风险。
我们基于PRISMA指南（系统评价和Meta分析的首选报告项目）进行了一项综述。我们使用了以下三个数据库：PubMed、Embase和Scopus。在这三个数据库中执行检索策略，应用检索词“COVID-19与牙科”、“COVID-19与牙科学”，选择2019年11月至2020年5月发表的人体研究。以COVID-19为研究核心主题的英文出版物均符合纳入标准，无论研究设计如何。关于COVID-19与牙科学之间关联的已发表研究非常少，因此我们还纳入了两篇中文研究的英文摘要。制定了以下排除标准：动物研究和体外研究。
检索共识别出212篇文章，其中54篇被预选，最终根据纳入和排除标准将23篇纳入综述。我们在所选研究中收集了有关牙科诊所一般感染途径和口腔感染途径、牙科患者评估及交叉感染控制的所有信息。
由于在严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）疫情爆发后人群经过一段时间的社会隔离后返回牙科诊所，牙科诊所的交叉感染涉及非常重要的风险。因此，我们必须采取充分且足够的安全措施来保护患者和牙科诊所工作人员。COVID-19、COVID-19交叉感染风险、牙科领域COVID-19的预防、牙科诊所中的COVID-19。
