Abstract
Objective: To discuss the form of dental care at home in times of pandemic caused by COVID-19 in order to reduce the risk of contamination by SARS-CoV2, where in this modality the elderly person remains in the "contamination-free" environment and only receives the professional, for urgent and emergency treatments, with due care. Bibliographic review: It was found with the present study that due to the pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2, new forms of home care for the elderly have been rethought since December 2019. The service modality is practiced worldwide, and in Brazil it has stood out over the years. The aim is to avoid the most common forms of contagion of COVID 19 with a biosafety protocol when entering and leaving the residence, prioritizing urgent and emergency care, providing better quality of life for the elderly. Final considerations: Care in relation to COVID-19 contamination must be observed by health professionals and home care for the elderly is a proposal that needs to be viewed as an effective multiprofessional preventive measure, especially in emergency cases or even in cases where the elderly cannot attend a dental office aiming at their perspective and quality of life.
