Decoding the English standard operating procedures for dentists and the dental industry

摘要

The recently published for the resumption of dental treatment in England may prove to be not only the blueprint for the resumption of face-to-face treatments, but also a possible catalyst for change. Seemingly, the of the new standard operating procedures is not just to outline the detailed procedures for kick-starting dentistry, but also to support practices through transition and the shift towards a preventative and minimally invasive clinical approach that meets the current clinical challenges, and possibly then goes beyond. Detailed guidance is also provided throughout the document, including the provision and type of required personal protective equipment and clinical guidelines.
