Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The prevalence and clinical relevance of viremia in patients with COVID-19 have not been well investigated. Seeking to understand the need for dentistry to perform bloody procedures in critically ill patients with COVID-19 admitted to the ICU, the quantification of the magnitude of viral replication may play a fundamental role in this scenario. For this, it is necessary to study the viremia kinetics of SARS-CoV-2, seeking to assess whether there is any characteristic pattern that may be associated with a worse clinical outcome of the patient with COVID-19 after undergoing bloody dental procedures, therefore, the objective of this research will be to investigate the occurrence of viral kinetics produced by dental procedures in patients with SARS-CoV-2 in Intensive Care Units, where, in addition to analyzing the oral health condition, the viral kinetics of SARS-CoV-2 will also be investigated by means of reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) examination of blood samples from patients with COVID-19 undergoing bloody dental treatment. This research is expected to identify risks and consequences regarding the possibility of performing bloody dental treatment in patients with COVID-19 in serious condition, in addition to verifying the association of the impact of oral infection foci on this profile of patients.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: Control group

Other: Non-bloody dental procedures (control group)
Control group composed of 30 positive patients for SARS-CoV-2, from the same ICU, submitted to non-bloody procedures.

Active Comparator: Study group

Procedure: Bloody dental procedures (study group)
Study group consisting of 30 patients who require open dental treatment and with a positive PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 prior and admitted to the Intensive Care Unit.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Increased quantification of viral replication [Through three collections of blood samples, in the following moments: (T0) 15 minutes before the beginning of the dental procedure; (T1) 10 minutes after the start of the procedure; and (T3) 10 minutes after the end of the procedure.]

    The performance of bloody dental procedures hospitalized critically ill patients with COVID-19 causes an increase in the quantification of viral replication, causing changes in the patient's clinical outcome
