As part of the dental profession’s response to the COVID-19 Pandemic, we are conducting a research study aiming to explore the perceptions and experiences of dental practitioners regarding the impact of enhanced personal protective equipment (PPE) upon their visual and motor skills as well as the perspective regarding the consequences of enhanced-PPE on communication and shared decision-making with patients. Enhanced-PPE refers to the respirator mask, gown, glove and cap ensemble which need to be worn in order to undertake aerosol-generating procedures as stipulated by UK-based guidance.
