SADA COVID-19 Guidelines, May 2020
The South African Dental Association would like to thank the many people who worked on these SADA Dental Clinical Protocols in a such a short period – the sleepless nights, research and robust diversity of information has borne good fruits. Special thanks to Dr LC Swart who had the immense task of coordinating the many teams with differing views from academics, general and specialist practitioners in both public and private sectors, researchers. All has enriched the work that we are all proud to present to the Oral health fraternity.
