Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has spread all over the world. Based on Presidential Decree No. 11 of 2020, Indonesia was declared in a COVID-19 pandemic situation. The ever-widening spread of Covid 19 prompted PB PDGI to issue Circular Letter Number: 2776/PB PDGI/III-3/2020 concerning Guidelines for Dental Services During the Covid 19 Pandemic, which regulates the restriction on dental services. Research on the implementation of dental services during the pandemic was carried out by a socio-legal research approach, collecting primary data with questionnaires for patients and dentists at the public health centre, clinics, hospitals, and dental practitioners, who practised during the pandemic. Data were analyzed by the chi-square method and qualitative analysis method. Interviews with the management of health facilities and professional organizations to determine the sociological conditions that affect them. Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Covid 19 published by the Ministry of Health in July 2020, stipulate that basic health care efforts are given based on priorities by considering the benefits, risks and efforts to control Covid 19, by reducing face-to-face contact and developing telemedicine. In all types of health facilities, dentists still provide emergency services, there are differences in elective dental procedures, which bring up ethical and legal problems. Health service restrictions as regulated in the Covid 19 Prevention and Control Guidelines, reduce the patient's right to obtain health services according to medical standards, not by the 1945 Constitution Article 28 H paragraph (1) and Law number 6 of 2018 concerning Health Quarantine Article 8 The circular letter of PB PDGI regarding Guidelines for Dental Services during the Covid Pandemic has no legal force, the authority to determine medical service guidelines for the minister of health, and the circular does not include the hierarchy of laws regulated in Article 7 and 8 of Law No. 12 of 2011. Dental services during the pandemic were influenced by normative, sociological and technical factors. Cooperation between state institutions, local governments and professional organizations is needed so that the arrangements can solve the problems
