Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the global healthcare system, and this impact has not bypassed the field of dentistry. This article explores the direct and indirect effects of the SARS-CoV-2 virus on the oral cavity and the development of dental diseases. According to research findings, COVID-19 not only causes various symptoms in the oral cavity but also exacerbates existing dental conditions. Due to pandemic-related restrictions and limited medical services, many patients were unable to receive timely dental care, which led to the progression of diseases and the emergence of complications. The article provides a more detailed analysis of COVID-19's impact on oral health and the prevention and treatment of dental diseases.
