Abstract / Excerpt:

we would like to raise awareness on the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak that is spreading world-wide and represents an international sanitary emergency1. Our concern regards the feasibility of a safe return to dental offices without adopting appropriate measures in advance. In dental settings, the pathogens can be transmitted through inhalation of airborne microorganisms that can remain suspended in the air for long periods or through direct contact with fluids or other patient materials, contact of mucosae with infected aerosol propelled at short distance by coughing and talking without a mask, and indirect contact with contaminated instruments and/or environmental surfaces2,3.
