During the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, dental education and training requiring face-to-face interaction must prioritize infection prevention and the safety of students, staff, and patients. In July 2020, the Association for Dental Education, Asia Pacific (ADEAP) published safety guidelines for safe dental education during the COVID-19 pandemic. These guidelines summarize ADEAP recommendations for classroom-based courses, reopening of simulated training courses and dental clinics, and provision of clinical skills training courses in dentistry during the COIVID-19 pandemic. They have been formulated to ensure the safety of students and teaching staff, dental auxiliary staff, and patients. However, the present guidelines are considered appropriate only when the number of COVID-19 epidemic cases has been significantly reduced, i.e. when the epidemiological curve has flattened in the area concerned. The criteria for lifting restrictions on activities should be consistent with relevant jurisdictional guidelines.

在当前的2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行期间，需要面对面互动的牙科教育和培训必须优先考虑感染预防和学生，员工和患者的安全。2020年7月，亚太地区牙科教育协会（ADEAP）发布了COVID-19大流行期间安全牙科教育的安全准则。这些准则总结了ADEAP针对课堂课程，重新开放模拟培训课程和牙科诊所以及在COIVID-19大流行期间提供牙科临床技能培训课程的建议。它们的制定旨在确保学生和教学人员，牙科辅助人员以及患者的安全。但是，仅当COVID-19流行病例的数量大大减少时，才认为本准则是适当的，即当有关地区的流行病学曲线趋于平坦时。取消活动限制的标准应与相关的管辖区指南相一致。
