Knowledge of aerosol-free procedures for covid-19 in pediatric dentistry by students of the Norbert Wiener University, 2021.

In the current context of the COVID-19 pandemic, biosecurity and infection control protocols have become increasingly stringent in dental practice. Reducing the use of instruments and procedures that generate aerosols is one of the most recommended strategies to minimize the transmission of SARS-CoV-2. The objective of this study was to determine the level of knowledge about aerosol-free procedures in pediatric dentistry among students at Universidad Norbert Wiener. This was a non-experimental, descriptive, cross-sectional quantitative study. The sample consisted of 270 students enrolled in preclinical and clinical courses who completed a virtual questionnaire via Google Forms. The questionnaire was designed based on recent literature and validated through expert judgment. A pilot test determined its reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.79). Results indicated that most surveyed students had a Medium Level of knowledge about aerosol-free procedures during COVID-19 (72.6%), which was not related to the age variable (p=0.275). However, a statistically significant relationship was found between the level of knowledge and students' age (p=0.02) and clinical experience (p=0.002). Among the five aerosol-free procedures evaluated, the best results were obtained for the Atraumatic Restorative Technique (ART), followed by the Therapeutic Sealant technique. The least-known procedures were Remineralization with Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF), Infiltrative Resins, and the Hall Technique.
