Abstract

 A novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is associated with human to human transmission. The COVID-19 was recently identified saliva of infected patients. The possibilities of transmission by the saliva of this virus are discussed in this article. The dental clinical procedures are expected to transmit COVID-19 through contact with droplets and aerosols. In order to improve efficient strategies for prevention, especially for dentists and health professionals performing aerosol generation procedures, it is essential strategies that more investigation into the detection and impact of COVID-19 in oral fluids be made – savior which can play a crucial role in human to human transmission, can be convenient and economic health care platform for quick and early detection of COVID-19 infection through non- invasive salivation diagnostics.
