Dental Management in Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19)

Sophie Kate

The on-going spread of serious acute respiratory condition coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and its related coronavirus illness has grasped the whole worldwide network and caused across the board general health concerns. In spite of global efforts to stop the spread, the spread is still on the rise in view of the community spread pattern of this contamination. This is a zoonotic disease, similar to other corona virus contamination that is assumed to have started in bats and pangolins and later transmitted to people. Once in the human body, this coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is majorly present in nasopharyngeal and salivary discharges of infected patients, and its spread is transcendently thought to be respiratory bead/contact in nature. Dental experts, including endodontists, may experience patients with suspected or affirmed SARS-CoV-2 disease and should act determinedly not exclusively to give care and yet forestall nosocomial spread of contamination.
