Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is one of the worst pandemics known to mankind. It affects people of all age groups. The children may present with milder symptoms and may also be asymptomatic. In the current scenario, pediatric dentists pose a high risk of the disease due to close contact with not just children but also with their parents. Additionally, the majority of pediatric dental procedures advocate the use of an air rotor that generates massive aerosol increasing the transmission risk by a manifold. This, necessitates a change in dental practice protocol to adapt to the new routine. It requires modification in behaviour management techniques, tele-triaging of patients, stringent infection control, minimization and replacement with minimally invasive techniques along with the use of adequate isolation.
