Abstract

  The mouth has a significant role when it comes to the transmission process of SARS - CoV-2. This happens due to the spread of small droplets which makes the oral and oropharynx mucosa easy targets for the virus [1]. Therefore, the oral cavity is directly associated with the evolutionary process of SARS-CoV-2 in the inhalation of environmental particles in the air and in the sputum, because it can also be transmitted through saliva [2].
