Special care and new environments	2020-06-26		.txt	text/plain	635	49	66	Sir, patients with autism and other special care needs often rely on familiar surroundings, processes and faces when attending the dentist to reduce the sensory burden and anxiety of being in the dental environment. Sending photographs and advice of how layouts and processes may have changed within the practice and what to expect regarding PPE and infection control procedures ahead of their appointment to patients and carers could prove invaluable in maintaining both attendance for this potentially higher risk group, as well as talking through any new steps during their visit or procedure to maximise compliance. highlighted the potential of povidone iodine (PVP-I) mouthwash and nasal spray in reducing the risk of cross-infection of COVID-19 among the dentists and their assistants. Here, we demonstrate in vitro virucidal activity of an oral PVP-I product against SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19.
