N2  - COVID-19 causes severe pneumonia, which is aided by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The pathophysiology of the COVID-19 sickness, the unusual transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2, and our age's high level of globalization have all led to the rapid global spread of China's epidemic emergency. For COVID-19 to spread from person to person, it just takes intimate contact with an infected individual. The virus is spread mainly through the inhalation of respiratory droplets, which may be applied when a person with the infection talks, sneezes, or coughs. It is also known that the virus may live in the environment, either in the air or on inanimate objects (known as "fomites"). Dentists are at a higher risk of developing SARS-CoV-2 because they frequently interact closely with patients and are exposed to human fluids such as saliva, blood, and tissue during surgical procedures. Many dental operations emit aerosol, and the possibility of an airborne infection should be recognized. This study seeks to give dentists useful guidelines based on current research that may assist them in preventing the spread of COVID-19 while working with patients.
