The novel Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) which is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2) has had a massive worldwide impact as a result of its mode of infection spread. The World Health Organisation(WHO) had declared it a pandemic on the 11th of March, 2020 after evaluating its high infectivity and disease fatality rate. Existing evidence suggests that Angiotensin-converting enzyme-2(ACE-2), is highly expressed on the cells of the tongue and salivary glands, in addition to the lungs, thereby giving a probable explanation of dysgeusia in patients affected by the virus. This article is based on our extensive search of available literature and aims to extrapolate the previous findings for a better understanding of the disease pattern. It focuses on elucidating some indispensable knowledge, besides exploring the various aspects of SARS-CoV-2, like its etiopathogenesis, clinical manifestations and treatment, and the dental implications associated with it.
