Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019, also known as COVID-19, has recently become a worldwide emergency. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared it a global pandemic. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is found to be the pathogen responsible for this infection. The spread of COVID-19 has raised major challenges for dentistry and medicine in the affected countries. Direct contact, droplet and aerosol transmissions are the possible routes of transmission of the infection. Many of the dental procedures generate droplets and aerosols resulting in increased risk of transmission of disease. This review article highlights the COVID-19 pandemic and offers certain guidelines with recommendations on infection control and preventive measures. These measures will help to prevent the spread of the infection and further worsening of the current disease scenario. KeyWords:Coid-19,Spread,Dentistry
