最近新的人畜共患呼吸道病毒感染人类并导致严重急性呼吸道综合征：严重急性呼吸道综合征冠状病毒（SARS-CoV）、甲型流感H5 N1、甲型流感H1N1和中东呼吸道综合征冠状病毒（MERS-CoV）。第一次SARS冠状病毒爆发发生在2003年，在广东，中国。十年后，另一种致病性冠状病毒MERS-CoV在中东国家引起流行。最新的大流行性冠状病毒传染病（COVID-19）与新分离的严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）有关。这是自1980年代获得性免疫缺陷综合症（艾滋病）以来的首次。牙科正面临着一个新的转折点。本评论旨在讨论COVID-19感染对口腔保健的影响。在牙科实践中，COVID-19患者是主要的感染源，有症状的患者更具传染性。牙科医生可以作为疾病的第一线诊断，因为他们与患者密切接触，并有可能受到COVID-19和所有呼吸道感染的影响。牙科协会和监管委员会已经发布了几项牙科实践环境指南。很明显，COVID-19大流行的生物、心理和社会影响对牙科诊所的当前和未来产生了影响。牙科学校、监管委员会、科学协会、政府当局以及公共和私人医疗保健服务机构必须共同努力，为严重和长期的病毒挑战设计持久的答案。
Recent new zoonotic respiratory viruses have infected humans and led to severe acute respiratory syndrome: severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), influenza A H5N1, influenza A H1N1 and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). The first SARS-CoV outbreak took place in 2003, in Guangdong, China. A decade later, another pathogenic coronavirus, MERS-CoV caused an endemic in Middle Eastern countries. The latest pandemic coronavirus infectious disease (COVID-19) has been related to the newly isolated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). For the first time since the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in the 1980s. Dentistry is facing a new turning point. This critical review aims to discuss the impact of COVID-19 infection on oral health care. In dental practice COVID-19 patients are the main source of infection and symptomatic patients are more contagious. Dentists can be first line of diagnosis of the disease, as they work in close contact with patients and are at the risk of being affected by COVID-19 and all respiratory infections. Several guidelines for dental practice environments have been published by dental associations and regulatory boards. It is already evident that biological, psychological and social effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have present and future impacts on dental practice. Dental schools, regulatory boards, scientific associations, government authorities, and public and private health care services must join efforts to design enduring answers for severe and long-standing viral challenges.
