ABSTRACT
 Objective: To assess the knowledge, attitudes and perspectives of patients about the pandemic coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) and the prevention measures taken in dental offices and analyze what they expect from dentists considering the pandemic and post-pandemic scenarios. Material and Methods: To collect the information, an online questionnaire was sent to patients from all over Brazil, including men and women, older than 18, who have already undergone dental treatment and who were not dentists or dental students. Data were analyzed using chi-square, Fisher's exact or chi-square with Yates' correction tests (α=0.05). Results: There was a total of 2,557 volunteers patients, of whom 2,065 (80.8%) were female and 1,326 (51.9%) of them were aged 20-29 years. A total of 2,338 (91.4%) patients reported feeling more secure when the dentist uses personal protective equipment. Men (p<0.0001) and those over 50 years of age (p=0.01) have propensity to attend dental offices than woman, even if COVID-19 was suspected. Men were less afraid of visiting dental clinics (p<0.0001). Conclusion: Patients were aware of the preventive measures taken in dental offices and were able to request that dentists follow these measures and expect changes in dental care, even after the pandemic and with vaccination. Therefore, COVID-19 protection protocols should be carefully followed by professionals to increase patients' confidence.

ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, hastaların koronavirüs hastalığı2019 [coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)] pandemisi ve dental ofislerdeki korunma önlemleri hakkındaki bilgilerini, davranışlarını ve perspektiflerini değerlendirmek ve pandemi ve pandemi sonrası senaryolarda diş hekimlerinden neler beklediklerini analiz etmektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bilgi toplamak amacıyla Brezilya'nın her yerinden kadın ve erkek dâhil, 18 yaş üzeri, hâlihazırda dental tedavi geçirmiş ve diş hekimi veya diş hekimliği öğrencisi olmayan hastalara çevrim içi anket gönderilmiştir. Veriler, ki-kare, Fisher exact veya ki-kare ile Yates'in düzeltme testleri (α=0,05) kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: 2.065'i (%80,8) kadın ve 1.326'sı (%51,9) 20-29 yaş aralığında olan toplam hasta sayısı 2.557'dir. Toplam 2.338 (%91,4) hasta, diş hekimi kişisel koruma ekipmanı kullandığında daha güvende hissettiğini bildirmiştir. Erkekler (p<0,0001) ve 50 yaş üzerindekiler (p=0,01), COVID-19 şüphesi olsa bile dental ofislere gitmeye kadınlardan daha meyillidirler. Erkekler dental kliniklere gitmekten daha az korkmuşlardır (p<0,0001). Sonuç: Hastalar dental ofislerde alınan koruyucu önlemlerin bilincindedir ve diş hekimlerinin bu önlemleri almalarını talep edebilmişlerdir, pandemi ve aşılama sonrası bile dental bakımda değişiklik bekleyebildiler. Bu nedenle hastaların güvenini artırmak için COVID-19 koruma protokolleri profesyoneller tarafından dikkatle takip edilmelidir
