Abstract

The SARS-CoV-2 virus is the cause of the COVID-19 illness, which has been discovered to have a number of side effects. The purpose of this study is to present the most recent scientific data about oral symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 and the difficulties the dental system faced throughout the pandemic. When COVID-19 is suspected or confirmed, it is advised that patients undergo a routine intraoral examination because oral symptoms occasionally signal a serious illness or even a life-threatening condition. We think it is crucial to have a thorough understanding of all COVID-19 symptoms, including oral lesions, given the current state of the spread of the disease and the unknown future effects of newly developing viral variations. The internet databases of PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane Central, Web of Science, and Science Direct were investigated to find out how COVID-19 influences oral health. Our suggestions were based on the most recent recommendations from the American Dental Association, WHO, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Infection Control Practices for Dentistry. The objectives of this review were to analyze current infection control recommendations and shed light on the oral effects of COVID-19 using the evidence that is currently available. With the present understanding of the pathophysiology and biological behavior of COVID-19, the main question addressed in this review was whether it is reasonable to believe that oral symptoms are a direct result of SARS-CoV-2 infection. In this review, we will look at the possible oral and dental consequences of COVID-19 based on the information that is currently available.
