ORAL INJURIES ASSOCIATED WITH COVID-19

Introduction: The new coronavirus is a highly contagious disease, which promotes great systemic involvement of the infected individual, and which can lead to the emergence of oral manifestations. This is due to the ability of SARS-CoV-2 to bind with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE 2) receptors. Which leads to the possibility of the correlation of this virus with the appearance of oral alterations. Goal: The purpose of this study is to carry out a literature review in order to present the prevalence and impacts caused in the oral environment, of oral changes possibly associated with COVID-19. Materials and Methods: Based on this investigation, the methodology applied for this study was a literature review, with a survey of articles published between 2020 and 2022, which explore the association of covid-19 with oral lesions. The studies were searched on the platforms: SCIELO, Lilacs, and Pubmed, with the search for the following keywords: “covid-19”, “oral lesions” and oral manifestations”. Result: Therefore, as a result of the investigation, it was found that the most prevalent oral manifestations that may be associated with covid-19 are: ulcerative lesions, vesicobullous, xerostomia and gustatory changes, but other lesions may also arise, such as petechiae, dysgeusia, scaly gingivitis, thrush, and herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) infection or reactivation. Conclusion: However, it was found that with the current studies it is not possible to determine the causality of oral lesions associated with the new coronavirus. More research is needed in order to specify the action of covid-19 in the oral environment, clarifying its possible causes and effects.
