          Abstract

          RESUMEN La labor ejercida por todos los profesionales sanitarios, incluyendo los que ejercen su labor en la Atención Primaria, presenta un papel transcendental durante la situación creada por la pandemia por la Covid-19. En España, tras doblegar la curva de contagios, se ha iniciado el proceso de desescalada, por el cual todas las actividades laborales productivas deben volver a ponerse en marcha, tras el cese forzoso producido por el Estado de Alarma, procurando a la par preservar la seguridad de toda la ciudadanía ante la amenaza latente de la Covid-19. En los Centros de Salud de los Sistemas Sanitarios Públicos Autonómicos, se han modificado los servicios de atención a los pacientes, con el fin de obtener un servicio asistencial de calidad a la par que se procura garantizar la salud de tanto el personal clínico-asistencial, como de los pacientes. Por este motivo, las Unidades de Salud Bucodental de los Centros de Salud de la Comunidad Autónoma de Aragón han tenido que adaptarse a la nueva situación, presentándose en este estudio las características de la atención bucodental en la Unidad de Salud Bucodental del Centro de Salud El Seminario-Romareda de Zaragoza en el primer mes de la desescalada.

          ABSTRACT The work carried out by all health professionals, including those who work in Primary Care, presents a transcendental role during the situation created by the Covid-19 pandemic. In Spain, after bending the contagion curve, the de-escalation process has begun, by which all productive work activities must be started again, after the forced cessation produced by the State of Alarm, while trying to preserve the security of all citizens in the face of the latent threat of Covid-19. In the Health Centers of the Autonomous Public Health Systems, the patient care services have been modified, in order to obtain a quality care service while trying to guarantee the health of both the clinical-care staff, as of patients. For this reason, the Oral Health Units of the Health Centers of the Autonomous Community of Aragon have had to adapt to the new situation, presenting in this study the characteristics of oral care in the Oral Health Unit of the Seminario Health Center Romareda de Zaragoza in the first month of the de-escalation.

          Transmission routes of 2019-nCoV and controls in dental practice

          A novel β-coronavirus (2019-nCoV) caused severe and even fetal pneumonia explored in a seafood market of Wuhan city, Hubei province, China, and rapidly spread to other provinces of China and other countries. The 2019-nCoV was different from SARS-CoV, but shared the same host receptor the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). The natural host of 2019-nCoV may be the bat Rhinolophus affinis as 2019-nCoV showed 96.2% of whole-genome identity to BatCoV RaTG13. The person-to-person transmission routes of 2019-nCoV included direct transmission, such as cough, sneeze, droplet inhalation transmission, and contact transmission, such as the contact with oral, nasal, and eye mucous membranes. 2019-nCoV can also be transmitted through the saliva, and the fetal–oral routes may also be a potential person-to-person transmission route. The participants in dental practice expose to tremendous risk of 2019-nCoV infection due to the face-to-face communication and the exposure to saliva, blood, and other body fluids, and the handling of sharp instruments. Dental professionals play great roles in preventing the transmission of 2019-nCoV. Here we recommend the infection control measures during dental practice to block the person-to-person transmission routes in dental clinics and hospitals.

            Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19): Emerging and Future Challenges for Dental and Oral Medicine

            The epidemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), originating in Wuhan, China, has become a major public health challenge for not only China but also countries around the world. The World Health Organization announced that the outbreaks of the novel coronavirus have constituted a public health emergency of international concern. As of February 26, 2020, COVID-19 has been recognized in 34 countries, with a total of 80,239 laboratory-confirmed cases and 2,700 deaths. Infection control measures are necessary to prevent the virus from further spreading and to help control the epidemic situation. Due to the characteristics of dental settings, the risk of cross infection can be high between patients and dental practitioners. For dental practices and hospitals in areas that are (potentially) affected with COVID-19, strict and effective infection control protocols are urgently needed. This article, based on our experience and relevant guidelines and research, introduces essential knowledge about COVID-19 and nosocomial infection in dental settings and provides recommended management protocols for dental practitioners and students in (potentially) affected areas.

              Clinical and epidemiological features of 36 children with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Zhejiang, China: an observational cohort study

              Summary Background Since December, 2019, an outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread globally. Little is known about the epidemiological and clinical features of paediatric patients with COVID-19. Methods We retrospectively retrieved data for paediatric patients (aged 0–16 years) with confirmed COVID-19 from electronic medical records in three hospitals in Zhejiang, China. We recorded patients' epidemiological and clinical features. Findings From Jan 17 to March 1, 2020, 36 children (mean age 8·3 [SD 3·5] years) were identified to be infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. The route of transmission was by close contact with family members (32 [89%]) or a history of exposure to the epidemic area (12 [33%]); eight (22%) patients had both exposures. 19 (53%) patients had moderate clinical type with pneumonia; 17 (47%) had mild clinical type and either were asymptomatic (ten [28%]) or had acute upper respiratory symptoms (seven [19%]). Common symptoms on admission were fever (13 [36%]) and dry cough (seven [19%]). Of those with fever, four (11%) had a body temperature of 38·5°C or higher, and nine (25%) had a body temperature of 37·5–38·5°C. Typical abnormal laboratory findings were elevated creatine kinase MB (11 [31%]), decreased lymphocytes (11 [31%]), leucopenia (seven [19%]), and elevated procalcitonin (six [17%]). Besides radiographic presentations, variables that were associated significantly with severity of COVID-19 were decreased lymphocytes, elevated body temperature, and high levels of procalcitonin, D-dimer, and creatine kinase MB. All children received interferon alfa by aerosolisation twice a day, 14 (39%) received lopinavir–ritonavir syrup twice a day, and six (17%) needed oxygen inhalation. Mean time in hospital was 14 (SD 3) days. By Feb 28, 2020, all patients were cured. Interpretation Although all paediatric patients in our cohort had mild or moderate type of COVID-19, the large proportion of asymptomatic children indicates the difficulty in identifying paediatric patients who do not have clear epidemiological information, leading to a dangerous situation in community-acquired infections.
