The work carried out by all health professionals, including those who work in Primary Care, presents a transcendental role during the situation created by the Covid-19 pandemic. In Spain, after bending the contagion curve, the de-escalation process has begun, by which all productive work activities must be started again, after the forced cessation produced by the State of Alarm, while trying to preserve the security of all citizens in the face of the latent threat of Covid-19. In the Health Centers of the Autonomous Public Health Systems, the patient care services have been modified, in order to obtain a quality care service while trying to guarantee the health of both the clinical-care staff, as of patients. For this reason, the Oral Health Units of the Health Centers of the Autonomous Community of Aragon have had to adapt to the new situation, presenting in this study the characteristics of oral care in the Oral Health Unit of the Seminario Health Center Romareda de Zaragoza in the first month of the de-escalation.
