    Abstract Introduction: An urgent dental care centre (UDCC) was set up at Queen Mary's Hospital in Sidcup, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Alongside the reporting of clinical outcomes, it is important to determine the success of a service from a patient’s perspective. The aim of this study was to ascertain patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) and patient reported experienced measures (PREMs) of our service. Method: The Oral Health Impact Profile 14 (OHIP-14) tool was used to assess the Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) of patients, and completed before and after attending our UDCC for treatment. Patients were also asked to complete a patient satisfaction questionnaire. Results: 146 patients were recruited for our study, with 95 patients completing the OHIP-14 questionnaires pre- and post intervention at our UDCC and 136 patients completing a patient satisfaction questionnaire. A statistically significant reduction in OHIP score when comparing pre- and post-intervention was found across all OHIP-14 domains. The mean positive response rate (strongly agree or agree) for the patient satisfaction questionnaire was 97.1%. Conclusion: A significant improvement in OHRQoL was found after treatment at our UDCC, with the majority of patients reporting a positive experience. We conclude that PROMs and PREMs are vital tools to assess service efficacy, help with the planning of service provision and should remain at the forefront even during a crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Abstract Objective: This paper describes and reports the patient-specific characteristics of an urgent dental care clinic for COVID-19 infected, suspected, exposed or quarantined patients from March to December 2020 in the Hospital District of Helsinki and Uusimaa, Finland.
    Material and methods: The triage and the treatment protocol were established based on the scientific data. Patient files were evaluated from the hospital district's electronic medical record system. IBM SPSS software was used for statistical analysis.
    Results: There were 1114 consultations and 257 visits at the clinic. Most of the patients were generally healthy with mean age of 35, had toothache and were suspected to be SARS-CoV-2 positive. Seventeen of the patients received positive tests for COVID-19 infection. The main treatment was tooth extraction, mostly due to caries. Statistically significant differences between COVID-19 infected and other patients occurred in age (45 vs 34 years-of-age,
    Conclusion: During the challenging pandemic time, patients were carefully screened by specialists in clinical dentistry and treated safely and effectively. Patient-specific characteristics revealed no differences between COVID-19 infected and other patients in terms of symptoms or treatment needs.

    Abstract Introduction: On March 9, 2020, the Italian government imposed a nationwide lockdown to contain the spread of coronavirus disease 2019. Oral health services were limited to only essential services. Nonurgent treatments were postponed. This study described the management of urgent dental care in northern Italy during the lockdown, with a particular focus on the province of Brescia.
    Methods: A cross-sectional survey was administered to Italian dentists at the end of the lockdown (May 3, 2020). A total of 1407 dentists answered the survey.
    Results: A total of 1205 dentists were included. Most of the respondents were dental owners (73.6%). About 79.7% of the dentists handled urgencies during the lockdown. The number of urgencies treated weekly was lower than that generally handled before the coronavirus disease 2019 outbreak (P < .001). Many dentists (81.2%) provided telephone consultations to evaluate symptoms. Pulpitis and abscesses were the most common urgencies (44.7% and 40.2%, respectively). Furthermore, 95% of dentists wore masks, protective eyewear, and surgical gloves while delivering nonpostponable treatments. The filtering facepiece 2 mask was used by 41.8% and 41.7% of owners and dental assistants, respectively. Financial concerns, risk of contagion, and personal protective equipment supply were indicated as the main current concerns.
    Conclusions: Our survey showed that Italian dentists took protective measures during the lockdown, thus minimizing the risk of contagion for dental health care personnel and patients. Many precautionary guidelines are now available, but a high uncertainty persists about dental health delivery during the pandemic.

    Abstract Objectives: Limited data are available on how the closure of pediatric dental clinics because of the COVID-19 pandemic affected hospital pediatric emergency department (ED) visits in the United States. We evaluated changes in dental-related visits at a pediatric ED and associated urgent care centers (UCCs) after the shutdown of a large pediatric dental clinic because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective medical record review of 811 patients aged 0 to 17 years who presented to a pediatric ED or associated UCC at Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego for dental-related concerns from March 19, 2019, through January 17, 2021. Patients were classified into 3 periods: before shutdown, during shutdown, and after shutdown. We collected data on demographic characteristics;
    Results: The proportion of dental-related concerns in the ED doubled during the shutdown (0.7%) and was 1.5 times higher after the shutdown (0.6%) compared with before the shutdown (0.4%;
    Conclusions: Mitigating future closures of dental offices is important given the shifted burden of dental care to the ED.

    Abstract Introduction While routine dentistry was suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic, Urgent Dental Care centres (UDCs) were established to support patients with urgent dental needs.Aim The study aimed to provide insights and recommendations on future dental reform based on the perspectives of frontline staff delivering dental care in UDCs.Method A qualitative research study using a phenomenological approach. A hybrid approach that incorporated both a deductive and an inductive approach to analysis was adopted.Results The sample included 29 dentists and nine dental nurses providing care at UDCs in England during the pandemic. The following predominant themes were identified: patient care and access, practice viability, workforce sustainability, identity of dentistry and contract reform.Conclusions The pandemic has highlighted the desire from the dental profession for urgent reform of the current NHS dental contract in England.

    Abstract Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic enforced the cessation of routine dentistry and the creation of local urgent dental care systems in the UK. General dental practices are obligated by NHS guidance to remain open and provide remote consultation and referral where appropriate to patients having pain or problems.
    Aims: To compare two urgent dental centres with different triage and referral systems with regard to quality and appropriateness of referrals, and patient management outcomes.
    Methods: 110 consecutive referrals received by a primary care urgent dental centre and a secondary care urgent dental centre were assessed. It was considered whether the patients referred had access to remote primary care dental services, fulfilled the criteria required to be deemed a dental emergency as mandated by NHS guidance, and what the outcomes of referrals were.
    Results: At the primary care centre, 100% of patients were referred by general dental practitioners and had access to remote primary care dental services. 95.5% of referrals were deemed appropriate and were seen for treatment. At the secondary care site, 94.5% of referrals were direct from the patient by contacting NHS 111. 40% had received triaging to include 'advice, analgesia and antimicrobial' from a general dental practitioner, and 25.5% were deemed appropriate and resulted in treatment.
    Conclusion: Urgent dental centres face many issues, and it would seem that easy access to primary care services, collaboration between primary care clinicians and urgent dental centres, and training of triaging staff are important in operating a successful system.
