    Evaluation of the Relationship Between Dentist Knowledge of the Covid-19 and the Using of the Rubber Dam in Endodontic Treatment
    (Amber Publication, 2021) Bilgili, Duygu; Kilbas, Elmas Pinar Kahraman
    Purpose: The aim of this study is to assess the change of the using of rubber dam related to COVID-19 pandemic and knowledge of dentists about this virus. Material and Methods: A questionnaire developed by the researchers in our study was sent to dentists through various channels (university websites, social media) to fill out. A total of 389 participants participated in the study. The questionnaire consists of 3 parts and consists of 31 questions in total. In the first part, there are 8 questions about the demographic characteristics of the participants, 7 in the second part that evaluate the use of rubber dam by the dentists, and in the third part there are 16 questions that measure their knowledge level about COVID-19. Results: In our study, 27.5% of all participants and 56.4% of endodontists reported that the frequency of using rubber dam during endodontic procedures increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. However; it was found that the knowledge levels of all participants and endodontists (when evaluated separately) did not differ according to their education on COVID-19 and the use of rubber dam. (p>0.05). Conclusion: Although the using of the rubber dam has increased with the COVID-19 pandemic, the using of the rubber dam during root canal treatment is still very low, in our study. Although no relationship was found between the knowledge level of COVID-19 and the using of the rubber dam, the factors affecting the using of the rubber dam should be investigated by other studies.

    Saliva in the Diagnosis of Covid-19
    (Galenos Publ House, 2021) Kilbas, Elmas Pinar Kahraman; Altindis, Mustafa; Kahraman Kilbaş, Elmas Pinar
    The use of saliva samples for the diagnosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) provides several advantages over the use of nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs, such as comfort, ease of self-collection, less use of personal protective equipment, and protection of healthcare personnel from transmission. This review included current studies using saliva samples for the detection of SARS-CoV-2, comparing its sensitivity, cycle threshold, and specificity with those of NP swab. In the literature, the sensitivity rates of saliva samples in the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 ranged from 70% to 98%. Despite different opinions, we concluded that saliva is a reliable sample for the detection of SARS-CoV-2. However, studies with large samples and comparing different diagnostic methods are needed to reach precise and reliable results and include saliva collection in diagnostic guidelines.
