INTRODUCTION
The COVID-19 pandemic posed unprecedented challenges to public health, necessitating strict biosafety measures to mitigate virus transmission. In the dental field, professionals faced heightened risks due to direct contact with aerosols and bodily fluids during clinical procedures. This study aimed to analyze the control measures adopted in 2020 by dental surgeons in the municipality of Fernandópolis, located in northwestern São Paulo State, Brazil, focusing on the adequacy of biosafety practices in Basic Health Units (UBS).
RESULTS
The study found high adherence to the use of personal protective equipment, such as N95 masks, face shields, and disposable medical gowns, alongside rigorous hand-hygiene practices. However, initial difficulties in accessing supplies and raising patient awareness about preventive measures were reported.
CONCLUSION
Although dental surgeons implemented effective measures to minimize contamination risks, continuous training and awareness strategies remain essential to enhance protection in dental settings.
引言
新冠疫情给公共卫生带来了前所未有的挑战，因此需要采取严格的生物安全措施来减少病毒传播。在牙科领域，专业人员在临床操作过程中因直接接触气溶胶和体液而面临更高的风险。本研究旨在分析巴西圣保罗州西北部费尔南多波利斯市的牙科外科医生在2020年采取的控制措施，重点关注基层卫生单位（UBS）生物安全措施的充分性。
结果
研究发现，牙科外科医生高度遵守使用个人防护设备的规定，如N95口罩、面罩和一次性医用防护服，同时严格执行手部卫生措施。然而，报告称在获取物资和提高患者对预防措施的认识方面最初存在困难。
结论
尽管牙科外科医生实施了有效的措施来降低污染风险，但持续培训和提高认识的策略对于加强牙科环境中的防护仍然至关重要。
