Resumen

The COVID-19 pandemic represents some of the most distressing challenges for health systems all over the world in the past decades, forcing clinicians to modify standards, prioritise treating conditions that require immediate care, and implement elements of remote attention in record time (Douglas et al., 2020). These challenges have also had an impact in the population’s oral health.
