When patients do not show symptoms of COVID-19, 54% of countries recommend respiratory protection FFP2 / FFP3 when performing AGP. A considerable number of countries also recommend respiratory protection FFP2 / FFP3 when performing non AGPs, both in patients with (63%) and without symptoms of COVID-19 (33%). However, the effectiveness of these respirators to prevent transmission of pathogens highly depends on proper fit and use of the equipment 9 In conclusion, the recommendations on respiratory protection when undertaking dental healthcare in European countries vary considerably.	./cache/cord-256135-v75qvb1i.txt	./txt/cord-256135-v75qvb1i.txt
