La Organización Mundial de la Salud declaró el brote del nuevo coronavirus (COVID-19) como pandemia el 11 de marzo de 2020 debido a su rápida propagación a escala mundial. Los odontólogos tienen un alto riesgo de contraer infecciones por el nuevo coronavirus debido a las gotas y aerosoles generados durante los procedimientos dentales en pacientes potencialmente infectados. Por esto, el conocimiento, la percepción y la actitud de estos trabajadores se consideran importantes para prevenir y controlar el brote. Los resultados del presente artículo indican que la mayoría de los odontólogos tienen un conocimiento adecuado y buenos puntajes de actitud y percepción, lo cual es primordial para combatir el COVID-19. Sin embargo, todavía existen muchas falencias que deben mejorar para garantizar una práctica dental segura tanto para los pacientes como para los profesionales.
