Abstract

Origin of the new coronavirus (Sars‐CoV‐2), first detected in China at the end of 2019, has caused a worldwide pandemic. The panic is mainly because the virus is responsible for causing an acute respiratory syndrome (COVID‐19). Sars‐CoV‐2 has a high infectivity through airborne contamination. However, there is an increased infection risk in the dental environment as dental procedures involves a close contact with saliva, where the virus is present in greater number. This possesses a serious problem for dental professionals and patients. Therefore, this article highlights various precautionary measures to be taken to prevent the transmission of the virus from one person to another. This article also reviews extensively on the impact of Covid-19 has on the future of dentistry.
