Resumen

Introducción: la pandemia de COVID-19 marcó profundamente la estructura de la sociedad en todos los ámbitos. Las peculiaridades de los servicios odontológicos, los situaron en el centro de atención. Este artículo de revisión pretendía plantear las principales evidencias científicas que orientaban las prácticas y la organización para la prestación de servicios odontológicos. Metodología: se trata de un estudio de revisión para la síntesis de la evidencia, que incluye estudios desarrollados desde enero de 2020 y octubre de 2022.  Resultados: Se seleccionaron para el análisis 102 artículos que evidenciaban que la pandemia afectó profundamente a los servicios odontológicos. Sus impactos consistieron en la reducción de la oferta de servicios, retos de adopción de protocolos de bioseguridad más estrictos. Los profesionales de la odontología tuvieron que reinventarse para una nueva realidad en sus consultas clínicas; lidiar con el miedo y la ansiedad de infectarse y contagiar a sus familias; y con las incertidumbres de la sostenibilidad financiera para mantener las consultas en funcionamiento. La prescripción de medicamentos y la tele-odontología fueron la principal alternativa para ofrecer los servicios. Consideraciones finales: las lecciones extraídas de la experiencia con la pandemia formarán parte del futuro de la pospandemia, así como de la práctica clínica y la gestión de los servicios odontológicos.
