Abstract

Background and Aims: Covid-19 virus has spread like a pandemic from the beginning of 2020 and has caused many dangers and concerns. The virus is commonly transmitted through the respiratory tract and infected aerosols, the production of these aerosols during dental treatment increases the risk of infection among staff and patients. The present study investigates the prevalence of the Covid-19 virus in patients referred to Shahid Beheshti Dental School. For 3 months duration. Materials and Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was performed on 193 patients after the reopening of the dental clinic during the outbreak of Covid-19 from June to September 2020 in Tehran. Patients were asked questions about their general health status and condition when visiting the faculty by telephone interview and the data were recorded. Results: About 17% of patients had a systemic disease and about 60% of them had regular vitamin D intake. Most blood groups belonged to groups O and A. A small number of patients (6. 20%) reported having Corona virus-infected individuals in their family members. About 8% of patients also reported having corona disease but were unsure of the cause. Patients' satisfaction with health behaviors and personal protection of the faculty was high (99%). Conclusion: The results of this study indicate the prevalence of factors affecting the incidence and severity of Covid-19 disease among patients referred to the clinic of the faculty of Dentistry. Given the uncertainties surrounding the nature of the virus, it is not possible to provide fully effective protection protocols; however, adhering to protective protocols can reduce the spread of the disease.
