Keywords: In order to strategically respond to COVID-19, the most important measure is to control COVID-19 by minimizing the spread of the coronavirus and preventing related diseases and morbidity. In dental and oral maxillofacial surgery treatment procedures, it is unavoidable that the patient's saliva and blood are generated in the form of droplets or aerosols. Recently, new variants of COVID-19 virus had been reported and cause more infection and faster spread. The risk of breakthrough infection, which occurs even after vaccination, is increasing. Therefore, this recommendation was prepared to help prevent infection of oral and maxillofacial surgeons exposed to such environments, and to maximize the safety of patients and medical staff.
