Abstract
SANDOVAL-GOMEZ, Natalia; NEEDHAM-TORRES, Tamara; VASQUEZ-CANALES, Gisella and SALAZAR-ROA, Ana María. Oral manifestations associated with SARS-COV-2: A literature review. Odontoestomatología [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.38, e304. Epub Sep 30, 2021. ISSN 0797-0374. https://doi.org/10.22592/ode2021n37e304.
Objective:
Identify the main oral manifestations associated with COVID19 and describe their location in the oral cavity.
Methods:
The literature search was conducted in PubMed, Medline, LILACS, LIVIVO, Web of Science, and SciELO. The following words were searched for: oral mucosa, oral mucosa lesion, oral manifestations, COVID-19, and SARS-CoV-2. Duplicate articles were eliminated, and the pieces were shortlisted. Finally, inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied.
Results:
This study included 47 articles. The main oral manifestations in patients with COVID-19 are taste disorders, xerostomia, ulcers, vesicles, and others located in different areas of the oral mucosa.
Conclusions
More studies are needed to determine the potential oral etiopathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2. Moreover, dentists play a significant role in the multidisciplinary and telemedicine team.
Keywords : COVID-19; oral manifestation; oral mucosa.
