(1,7,10,12,13,16,18,23,(27)(28)(29)(30)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41) The manifestations that are mentioned more frequently are taste disorders and ulcers, while the least mentioned are pustules, glossitis, and geographic tongue. The main manifestations found are described below (Table 1): (1,(9)(10)(11)14,17,18,26,27,30,33,41,42,46) The location of lesions is unspecific, but they appear mainly on the palate, tongue (mainly on the dorsum), and also lip (inners side and semi mucosa). ...

(5,8,18,22,25,26,32,37) We must emphasize the importance of the ACE2 receptor, which is distributed in the cell membrane of various organs and tissues, such as the respiratory tract, the nervous system, the digestive system, and the skeletal muscle.

Objective:
Identify the main oral manifestations associated with COVID19 and describe their location in the oral cavity.
Methods:
The literature search was conducted in PubMed, Medline, LILACS, LIVIVO, Web of Science, and SciELO. The following words were searched for: oral mucosa, oral mucosa lesion, oral manifestations, COVID-19, and SARS-CoV-2. Duplicate articles were eliminated, and the pieces were shortlisted. Finally, inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied.
Results:
This study included 47 articles. The main oral manifestations in patients with COVID-19 are taste disorders, xerostomia, ulcers, vesicles, and others located in different areas of the oral mucosa.
Conclusions
More studies are needed to determine the potential oral etiopathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2. Moreover, dentists play a significant role in the multidisciplinary and telemedicine team.
