Abstract
Introduction: Coronavirus infection is a viral disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). In addition to general symptoms, various degrees of oral manifestations have been reported, including loss of taste, aphthous lesions, recurrent herpes virus infections, and ulcerations. Objective: This study aims to provide an overview of the different oral manifestations of COVID-19 described in the literature, along with their prevalences. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted using five search engines (PubMed, Cochrane Library, Ebsco, Science Direct, and Google Scholar), following predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The retrieved articles were meticulously screened by reading the titles, abstracts, and full texts. Results: Our review included 11 publications out of a total of 1634 articles selected through the electronic search. The findings indicate that altered taste, xerostomia, and ulcers were the most common oral manifestations among COVID-19 patients. The tongue, palate, buccal mucosa, and lips were the most frequently affected locations for lesions caused by coronavirus infection. Conclusion: Patients with COVID-19 frequently experience oral manifestations such as taste impairment, xerostomia, and oral ulcers. However, it is important to note that these manifestations are not specific to COVID-19, as they can also be caused by other factors such as stress, reduced immunity, medication use, poor oral hygiene, and more. High-quality studies are required to confirm the potentially controversial association between oral lesions and COVID-19.
Keywords: Oral manifestations, COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2.
