          Abstract

          Introduction: Scientific literature on COVID-19 grew rapidly during the pandemic. The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive overview of the popularity on the Web of the available dental publications on COVID-19 and to examine associations between article characteristics, online mentions and citations.

          Materials & Methods: An Altmetric Explorer search was conducted for COVID-19 articles published in dentaljournals by means of 3 keywords: “COVID-19”, “SARS-CoV-2” and “pandemic”. The following Altmetric data were collected: Altmetric attention score (AAS), mentions by news outlets, Tweets, Mendeley readers, and Web of Science citations. Additionally, article title, type, topic, origin andopen access status, journal title, quartile of impact factor (IF) distribution and time lapse between COVID-19 pandemic onset and publication date were analysed.

          Results : 253 articles that had been published in 48 dental journals were eligible for the study. AAS was significantly influenced by article topic, type, origin and journal IF quartile. There was a negligible correlation between AAS and Web of science citations. Mendeley was the only Altmetric source highly correlated with citations.

          Conclusions: There was a substantial online interest in COVID-19 dentistry-related literature as depicted by the AASs of the reviewed articles and social media metrics. Mendeley reader counts were highly correlated with citations, and they may therefore be valuable in research impact evaluation.

          Statistics corner: A guide to appropriate use of correlation coefficient in medical research.

          M M Mukaka (2012)
          Correlation is a statistical method used to assess a possible linear association between two continuous variables. It is simple both to calculate and to interpret. However, misuse of correlation is so common among researchers that some statisticians have wished that the method had never been devised at all. The aim of this article is to provide a guide to appropriate use of correlation in medical research and to highlight some misuse. Examples of the applications of the correlation coefficient have been provided using data from statistical simulations as well as real data. Rule of thumb for interpreting size of a correlation coefficient has been provided.

            Transmission routes of 2019-nCoV and controls in dental practice

            Xian Peng, Xin Xu, Yuqing Li … (2020)
            A novel β-coronavirus (2019-nCoV) caused severe and even fetal pneumonia explored in a seafood market of Wuhan city, Hubei province, China, and rapidly spread to other provinces of China and other countries. The 2019-nCoV was different from SARS-CoV, but shared the same host receptor the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). The natural host of 2019-nCoV may be the bat Rhinolophus affinis as 2019-nCoV showed 96.2% of whole-genome identity to BatCoV RaTG13. The person-to-person transmission routes of 2019-nCoV included direct transmission, such as cough, sneeze, droplet inhalation transmission, and contact transmission, such as the contact with oral, nasal, and eye mucous membranes. 2019-nCoV can also be transmitted through the saliva, and the fetal–oral routes may also be a potential person-to-person transmission route. The participants in dental practice expose to tremendous risk of 2019-nCoV infection due to the face-to-face communication and the exposure to saliva, blood, and other body fluids, and the handling of sharp instruments. Dental professionals play great roles in preventing the transmission of 2019-nCoV. Here we recommend the infection control measures during dental practice to block the person-to-person transmission routes in dental clinics and hospitals.

              Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19): Emerging and Future Challenges for Dental and Oral Medicine

              L Meng, F. Hua, Z. Bian (2020)
              The epidemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), originating in Wuhan, China, has become a major public health challenge for not only China but also countries around the world. The World Health Organization announced that the outbreaks of the novel coronavirus have constituted a public health emergency of international concern. As of February 26, 2020, COVID-19 has been recognized in 34 countries, with a total of 80,239 laboratory-confirmed cases and 2,700 deaths. Infection control measures are necessary to prevent the virus from further spreading and to help control the epidemic situation. Due to the characteristics of dental settings, the risk of cross infection can be high between patients and dental practitioners. For dental practices and hospitals in areas that are (potentially) affected with COVID-19, strict and effective infection control protocols are urgently needed. This article, based on our experience and relevant guidelines and research, introduces essential knowledge about COVID-19 and nosocomial infection in dental settings and provides recommended management protocols for dental practitioners and students in (potentially) affected areas.
