Abstract

In early 2020, there was a discovery of the Covid-19 virus that could transmit very quickly through droplets, so it was eventually designated a pandemic. Dentists are always in contact with saliva and blood. They are susceptible to droplets and aerosols, so there are regulations regarding dental care services during a pandemic that can affect dental patient visits. This study aims to determine the utilization of dental patients during the Covid-19 pandemic at the Mungkid Primary Health Centre. The type of research was descriptive research with quantitative data. This research was conducted at the Dental Clinic of the Mungkid Primary Health Centre by taking data from medical records in the dental clinic during 2020 based on payment methods, demographics of age, gender, diagnosis, and treatment data. The data were analyzed and presented as a graphic presentation. The description of dental clinic patient visits at Mungkid Health Center in 2020 shows fluctuation, with the highest visits in February and the lowest in December. The most common diagnosis was pulp necrosis, and the most treatment conducted was through premedication. The pattern of the patient who visited the clinic, based on the demographics of most patients, was female and was dominated by patients of productive age. Payments with JKN dominated the visits of dental clinic patients at Mungkid Health Center. These results suggest a decrease in the number of dental visits during the year 2020 Covid Pandemic at the Mungkid Health Centre.
