Abstract

BACKGROUND: Recently, outbreak of novel coronavirus (CoV) (severe acute respiratory syndrome-CoV-2 [SARS-CoV-2]) has been emerged as a serious public health concern. On February 11, 2020, the WHO announced an official name for this disease, CoV disease-(COVID)-19. The virus can cause systemic complications such as lung involvement, skin, and oral complications.

AIM: The aim of this study was to review of the oral manifestations of COVID-19.

METHODS: In this narrative review study, we searched all articles between 2010 and 2020 in PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct related to COVID-19, and its oral manifestations, using the following terms: “Coronavirus,” “COVID-19,” and “SARS-CoV-2” in combination with “Stomatognathic diseases,” “Oral manifestation,” and “Mouth diseases.”

RESULTS: The most common oral manifestations in people with COVID-19 that we get after searching are: salivary gland disease, xerostomia, taste and smell alterations, and oral mucosal lesions.

CONCLUSIONS: Since almost all of the oral findings appear at the asymptomatic phase of disease, identification of these symptoms can help to timely diagnosis of the main disease.
