This book explores the various oral manifestations and complications observed in patients infected with the COVID-19 virus. It covers the impact of the virus on oral health, detailing how the virus can cause specific oral lesions, such as ulcers, lesions in the mouth, and changes in the tongue's appearance. The book examines the pathophysiology behind these oral symptoms and their potential correlation with the severity of the virus, including cases of anosmia (loss of smell), dry mouth (xerostomia), and other oral discomforts that are commonly reported by COVID-19 patients. Additionally, it discusses diagnostic methods for identifying these oral manifestations and offers insights into the treatment and management strategies for these lesions in COVID-19-positive individuals. The book is aimed at healthcare professionals, especially dentists and oral care specialists, to help them understand the relationship between COVID-19 and oral health, ensuring better patient care. In summary, it is an informative resource focusing on the lesser-known oral complications linked to the COVID-19 pandemic.
