Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the prevalence and infection status of COVID-19 confirmed patients among dental healthcare workers, and to suggest guidelines for dental infection control, management and prevention based on the latest literature. Method: Information registered in the Basic Epidemiological Survey of COVID-19 confirmed cases of dental healthcare workers(dentists, dental hygienists, dental technicians) from the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency for 23 months from February 2020 to December 2021 was analyzed. Results: In the case of dentists, the number of confirmed cases increased about 9 times from an average of 1.1 monthly in 2020 to an average of 9.8 monthly in 2021. The number of confirmed cases among dentists, dental hygienists, and dental technicians has increased, with a total cumulative number of 395 confirmed cases until 2021. The highest number of month - ly confirmed cases was reported 111 cases in December 2021. There were 19.2 times more confirmed cases (269 cases) caused by community groups or close contact than the number of confirmed cases (14 cases) in dental hospital settings. Conclusions: Dental healthcare workers should follow basic infection control for COVID-19 prevention in the dental environment. Moreover, dental healthcare workers should check the latest COVID-19 guidelines, COVID-19 guidelines and follow them strictly in dental clinics as well as in their local communities.
