A bibliographic search of the main scientific databases was carried out using the words \u201cmasks, COVID-19, and dentistry.\u201d Articles without language restriction up to May 31, 2020, were obtained. The types of masks, their half-life, method to use, sterilization, and proposed alternatives for dental masks were analyzed. Most of the articles refer to the use of N95 or FFP2 respirators presented as a strategy to extend the life of the masks and limited reuse. Regarding sterilization, most of the articles presented studies using ultraviolet germicidal irradiation as the sterilization method. Regarding respirator mask half-life, we recommend prolonged use, combined with a disposable surgical mask over the respirator mask. Finally, the use of N95 or FFP2 respirators are recommended as part of personal protective equipment for dental use.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/dmp.2020.255","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,17]],"date-time":"2020-07-17T08:24:31Z","timestamp":1594974271000},"page":"e43-e48","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Effectiveness and Recommendations for the Use of Dental Masks in the Prevention of COVID-19: A Literature Review"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Josabet Johana","family":"Arellano-Cotrina","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicole","family":"Marengo-Coronel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katherine Joselyn","family":"Atoche-Socola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Claudio","family":"Pe\u00f1a-Soto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0010-5948","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luis Ernesto","family":"Arriola-Guill\u00e9n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"S1935789320002554_ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/iej.13313"},{"key":"S1935789320002554_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/CM9.0000000000000775"},{"key":"S1935789320002554_ref25","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599820927335"},{"key":"S1935789320002554_ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/irv.12740"},{"key":"S1935789320002554_ref18","first-page":"299","article-title":"COVID-19 and dentistry: a review of recommendations and perspectives for Latin America","volume":"14","author":"Sigua-Rodriguez","year":"2020","journal-title":"Int J Odontostomatol."},{"key":"S1935789320002554_ref20","first-page":"30211","article-title":"What face mask for what use in the context of COVID-19 pandemic?
