Abstract
Covid-19 has its etiology associated with infection by the New Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, transmitted by inhalation of air carrying very small fine droplets and aerosol particles that contain the virus. Major signs and symptoms include fever, cough, and other symptoms associated with acute respiratory illness. However, there are reports of variation in clinical manifestations due to viral variants. Recent studies have documented various oral manifestations associated with COVID-19. In the medical literature, there can be evidence of numerous injuries such as: ulcer, papule, macule, plaque, hemorrhagic and necrotic lesions, with the tongue, labial mucosa and palate being the most affected oral regions. It is not yet clear whether oral lesions are directly caused by SARS-CoV-2, as coinfections or both. Understanding this problem may have relevant clinical implications and should be investigated in future studies. Keywords: COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2; oral manifestations.
