Pelayanan kesehatan gigi memiliki risiko tinggi terjadinya infeksi silang. Penyebaran infeksi dapat terjadi melalui percikan darah, aerosol, dan saliva. Terjadinya penularan infeksi di praktik dokter gigi telah menjadi perhatian penting bagi masyarakat. Upaya untuk mengendalikan penyebaran infeksi salah satunya dengan menggunakan Alat Pelindung Diri (APD) yang sesuai dengan pedoman. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kepatuhan dokter gigi dalam menggunakan APD pada situasi terkini. Penelitian ini adalah  Systematic Literature Review dengan metode PRISMA dan kualitatif dengan wawancara mendalam. Online database yang digunakan, yaitu PubMed, ProQuest, dan Scopus. Diperoleh 14 literatur internasional yang memenuhi tujuan penelitian dan kriteria inklusi. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan terhadap pengendalian penyakit infeksi meningkat setelah terjadinya pandemi. Informasi mengenai pedoman APD banyak diperoleh melalui media sosial. Mayoritas studi menyatakan bahwa ketersediaan APD menjadi hal yang penting dalam kepatuhan penggunaan APD bagi dokter gigi. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah kepatuhan dokter gigi dalam penggunaan APD pada saat ini masih baik. Hal ini didukung dengan meningkatnya pengetahuan mengenai penyakit infeksi, mengikuti pelatihan penggunaan APD, dan ketersediaan APD yang telah mudah diperoleh.
