Mortality Among Dental Healthcare Workers During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic: A Public Domain Database Study
During the global pandemic, DHCWs worked in the context of general practice. The DHCWs adhered to infection prevention protocols according to standard guidelines and incorporated new adjunctive measures, especially for the pandemic, including adopting coronavirus disease 2019 guidelines for oral healthcare. These measures provided satisfactory protection, with less than 0.006% mortality of the estimated DHCWs worldwide.
