Teledentistry support in COVID-19 oral care

摘要

Given the latest updates in scientific publications about the impact of COVID-19 on oral health, such as the role of salivary glands as potential reservoirs for SARS-CoV-2 (1), the appearance of possible oral vesiculobullous lesions (2), and the presence maculopapular manifestations in suspected and confirmed cases (3), we aimed to emphasize the inexorable need for close monitoring by a dentist specialized in oral medicine in such COVID-19 patients. Their skill and accuracy in diagnosing mouth diseases could contribute to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 in oral health.
