• Resumen

  • Certain authors have reported oral manifestations in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. Whether such manifestations, are due to the disease itself (COVID-19), or secondary to the patient’s systemic condition is unknown. This editorial, draws attention to a series of clinical evidence-based oral lesions and to hypothetical ones that have not yet been studied, highlighting the relevant role of dentists, not only in the detection and treatment of such lesions, but also in early detection of the disease.
