Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur besöksfrekvensen på Odontologiska fakulteten på Malmö Universitet påverkats under COVID-19 pandemin. Material och metod: Registerdata från Odontologiska fakultetens journalsystem T4 analyserades. Samtliga patienter som återfanns i utcheckningslistan och därmed hade besökt Odontologiska fakulteten under perioden januari 2019 till och med december 2021 inkluderades. Fördjupade analyser av tandvårdsbesöken vid avdelningen Oral diagnostik utfördes, där variablerna kön och ålder undersöktes. Resultat: Antalet patientbesök på Odontologiska fakulteten var högre 2019 jämfört med 2020 och 2021. Den största minskningen under de tre undersökta åren skedde 2020. Besöksfrekvensen minskade mest för den äldsta åldersgruppen (65+ år) mellan 2019 och 2020, men ökade igen mellan 2020 och 2021. Det var större andel kvinnliga besökare på Oral diagnostik genom alla de undersökta åren. Slutsats: COVID-19 pandemin har påverkat besöksfrekvensen på Odontologiska fakulteten. Hur stor påverkan pandemin har haft på den orala hälsan är fortfarande oklart och fortsatta studier behövs. / Aim: The aim of the study is to investigate how the frequency of visits at the Faculty of Odontology, Malmö University has been affected during the COVID-19 pandemic. Material and method: The study analyzed register data from the faculty’s journal system T4. All patients that had visited the faculty’s clinic and hence were found in the check-out list during the period January 2019 to December 2021 were included. In-depth analyses of the dental care visits at the Oral Diagnosis department were performed, where the variables gender and age were investigated. Data were compiled and analyzed in tables and charts. Results: The number of patient visits was higher in 2019 compared to 2020 and 2021 at the Faculty of Odontology. The largest decrease during the three examined years occurred in 2020. The largest decrease in frequency of visits was found in the oldest age group (65+ years old) between 2019 and 2020. However, the frequency increased again between 2020 and 2021. There have been more female visitors at Oral Diagnosis through all the investigated years. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the frequency of visits in the Faculty of Odontology. How big an impact the pandemic has had on oral health is still unclear and further studies are needed.
