ABSTRACT
This study investigated the effectiveness of physical and mechanical barriers in the prevention, control and management of COVID-19 during dental care. In this cross-sectional study, two research students from the eighth period of the dentistry course performed 24 consultations fromJanuary to June 2022, in the 4 specialties under study surgery (S), restorative dentistry (D),endodontics (E) and periodontics (P). For each specialty researched, there were 3 groups control (CG), which adopted the current biosafety norms of the Federal Council of Dentistry (FCD); with circular shield (G1) and with rectangular shield (G2). For each specialty, the researcher performed 6 dental appointments, whose patients were chosen by lot to which group they would participate, so that the distribution was equitable between the groups. Aerosol stains were found around office equipment, as well as on professionals' personal protective equipment(PPE)and close to the patient. The maximum distance found from aerosol splashes to the naked eye was 1.43m during prophylaxis procedures in the CG. In all groups, most of the splashes were found on the PPEusedby professionals, especially on gloves, in the professionals' wrist region; on the patient, on the apron and neck. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups within the specialties (p-value > 0.05), disregarding the comparison between pairs. It was concluded that there was dissemination of aerosol droplets in all dental visits in the 4 specialties studied. Although the PPE proposed by the FCDare effective as a physical barrier to reduce cross-infection and the spread of droplets and aerosols, as well as a preventive measure against COVID-19 during dental care, the professional can use other devices that demonstrate effectiveness, such as the circular screens and the acrylic box, during the dental procedures (AU).
RESUMO
Este estudo investigoua eficácia de barreiras físicas e mecânicas na prevenção, controle e manejo da COVID-19 durante o atendimento odontológico. Neste estudo transversal, dois alunos pesquisadores do oitavo período do curso de Odontologia realizaram24 atendimentosde janeiro a junhode 2022, nas 4 especialidades em estudo cirurgia (C), dentísticarestauradora(D), endodontia (E) e periodontia (P). Para cada especialidade pesquisada houve3 grupos controle (GC), que adotou as normas vigentes de biossegurança do Conselho Federal de Odontologia (CFO); com anteparo circular (G1)e com o anteparo retangular (G2).Para cada especialidade, o pesquisador realizou 6 atendimentos, cujos pacientes foram escolhidos por sorteio para qual grupo participariam, de modoquea distribuição fosse equitativa entre os grupos. As manchas de aerossóis foram encontradas em torno dos equipamentos do consultório, bem como em equipamentos de proteção individual dos profissionais e próximas ao paciente. A máxima distância encontrada de respingos de aerossóis a olho nu foi de 1,43m durante procedimentos de profilaxia em acadêmicos com problemas periodontais foi encontrada no GC. Em todos os grupos, amaioria dos respingos foram encontrados sobre osequipamentos de proteção individual (EPI)utilizados pelos profissionais, principalmente nas luvas, na região de punho dos profissionais;no paciente, no avental e pescoço.Não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os grupos dentro das especialidades(p-valor > 0,05), prescindindo acomparação entre os pares. Concluiu-se que houve disseminação de gotículas de aerossóis em todos os atendimentos odontológicos nas 4 especialidadesestudadas. Apesar de os EPIpropostos pelo CFO serem eficazes como barreira física para diminuiçãode infecção cruzada e da propagação de gotículas e aerossóis, bem como medida preventiva contra a COVID-19 durante o atendimento odontológico, o profissional poderá lançar mão de outros aparatos que demonstrem eficácia, como por exemplo, os anteparos circulares e a caixa acrílica, durante os procedimentos odontológicos (AU).
