Impact of Covid-19 on the incidence and severity of odontogenic infections in Fiji islands: a multicenter hospital-based retrospective study
There was no evidence of a change in the prevalence, admission rates, or severity of odontogenic infections (OIs) during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, a significant regional variation in patient distribution was observed, with Labasa Hospital experiencing a notable increase in cases, attributed to the absence of lockdown measures and COVID-related restrictions in that region.
