Abstract

The adaptation process of dentists in relation to biosafety measures and infection control facing the COVID-19 pandemic is relevant, once the oral healthcare team has its area of ​​expertise in the orofacial region. The Family Health Strategy (ESF) plays a central role in such health emergencies. Therefore, the objective of the study is to identify the level of knowledge, changes in the clinical attitude and behavior of ESF dental surgeons in Maceió regarding to dental care during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a descriptive and cross-sectional study with a qualitative approach. Its data come from the application of a questionnaire to 20 dental surgeons from the oral health teams linked to the ESF. Twenty-five percent (25%) of the research volunteers tested positive for the disease. A considerable change after the pandemic was the use of facial-shields in the dental routines - 95% started wearing them. Approximately 68.42% dentists started to attend only to urgency / emergencies. Chlorhexidine 0.12 - 2% was the most used pre-procedure mouthwash (68.42%) as a method of decreasing viral load. Seventy-five percent (75%) of professionals faced problems in obtaining personal protective equipment. The majority (55%) made a self-assessment considering their knowledge sufficient, but only 40% completed a course on the topic, which demonstrates that there is a need for qualification and training of professionals in the perspective of Permanent Health Education through part of municipal management.
