ABSTRACT

The approach of this article is not to present the seriousness of the local, national and world problem, neither to give a scientific, technical, economic or social analysis of all the recently published information regarding the COVID-19 and its consequences. The main objective is to reflect on three questions that impact our community of dentistry professionals, educational institutions responsible of preparing future professionals and researchers: 1. What positive aspects are derived from this pandemic that we must rescue and that we are not seeing?; 2. What can we contribute from a professional and social perspective during this public health emergency ?; 3. What positive changes will have been generated in our profession when this pandemic is controlled?
