Abstract: 

After the pandemic caused by the new Corona virus, protective measures were proposed to avoid dissemination of COVID-19 disease. Many services of public attendance need to change protocol to guarantee protection of users and service providers. With the high rate of contagion and the possibility of asymptomatic carriers around, COVID-19 presents dental professions with a high risk of infection. Biosafety measures must be meticulously carried out, from the time patients make their appointments until they leave the clinic. The recommendations provided in this letter are important for the attendance of urgent and elective cases, irrespective of when the pandemic ends.
