Which recommendations from WHO calls for Postponing some Dental Procedures should be adapted to individual risk?

DentalReach Clinical Contributor:

Clinical transfer depends on matching the evidence to the patient, intervention, comparator, outcome, operator and care environment.

DentalReach Critical Appraisal:

The World Health Organization said on Tuesday that routine non-essential dental procedures should be postponed until transmission of COVID-19 is. Application should begin with diagnosis and prognosis, then weigh benefit, harm, alternatives, patient preference, feasibility and maintenance.

DentalReach Academic Editor:

The safety boundary should be explicit: which finding triggers additional testing, medical coordination, modification or referral?

DentalReach Evidence Review:

Shared decision-making should explain meaningful benefit, uncertainty, alternatives, maintenance and the likely result of postponing treatment without promotional framing.
