COVID-19 and oral cavity

In this presentation, we will show our protocol for oral management of COVID-19 patients, emphasizing the importance of oral lesions diagnosis and treatment. We will discuss if the oral lesions can be derived from the direct virus action on the oral mucosa or derived from the systemic condition of the patient. All the clinical cases will have a background of the scientific literature about the clinical significance of SARS-CoV-2 in the oral cavity

Participants will learn:

  • The most frequent oral lesions presented in COVID-19 patients.
  • How to diagnosis and treat these lesions.
  • The clinical significance of the possible SARS-CoV-2 action in the oral cavity.
