The goal of infection prevention in dentistry practise is to safeguard patients, the dental team, and ultimately, public health. Worldwide public concern has been raised by the recent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, which was brought on by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Globally, patient care has have to undergo significant modifications as a result of this extremely contagious disease. This article's objectives are to evaluate the most recent research, introduce key information concerning COVID-19, suggest management procedures, and suggest suitable protection for dental workers during the epidemic. From April to June 2020, a literature search was done. 85 studies in all were included after full-text screening. Some properties of SARS-CoV-2 are still unknown because of its novelty. Due to the nature of dental operations and the fact that the virus is aerosol-transmissible, dental staff and patients are at a significant risk of contracting the disease. To prevent the transmission of COVID-19 in dental settings during the outbreak, it is crucial to implement adequate management protocols and targeted preventative measures. It is yet unknown how COVID-19 will ultimately affect global health care. Because of the potential for the material to become stale as the epidemic spreads, this poses a serious drawback to this evaluation. The cautious practitioner will take this review as a starting point and keep themselves actively updated as the outbreak spreads. Further research is necessary to determine the possible effects of SARS-CoV-2 infections in dentistry settings.
