Abstract :
COVID-19 is a viral disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 that quickly became a global pandemic during 2020. Considering the recent outbreak, the lack of adequate data regarding SARS-CoV-2, and consequently the risk of dental practice and potential cross-infection, this article attempted to address the information collected so far in accordance with the internationally valid guidelines and to suggest a relatively safe protocol for the management of o patients. In other words, this study describes the essentials that need to be considered for the dental office reopening.
