Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a global public health problem. In odontostomatological environments, there is a high risk of COVID-19 transmissibility, due to close contact between the health professional and the patient; and the use of high-speed rotating instruments that generate a high number of aerosols. This has led to focus attention on cases of urgency or emergency and postpone elective treatments. For this reason, the Institute of Health Technology Assessment and Research (IETSI) of the Social Security of Peru (EsSalud) has issued guidelines about the performance of procedures in Odontoestomatology in the context of pandemic by COVID-19, which are summarized in this article. Two evaluation and management flow charts are included.
