Abstract

Dental clinics can play a crucial role in spreading the SARS-CoV-2 infections because of the nature of closecontact with the patient’s oral cavity and aerosol generating essential dental procedures. Dental practicesin regions affected with SARS-CoV-2 are needed to take utmost precautions and follow strict effectiveinfection control protocols even when the movement control/lockdown is gradually lifted post pandemic.Thus, we aim to summarise the current research findings on SARS-CoV-2 in dental settings and relevantinternational guidelines and recommended management protocols for the dental clinica. The knowledge onthe viral properties of SARS-CoV-2 and epidemiologic characteristics are essential to implement propermitigation strategies against transmission of Covid-19 infections via dental clinics.
