Summary
Existing evidence confirmed that saliva and oral cavity to be a reservoir for SARS-CoV-2. In
dental clinic aerosol-producing-procedures pose a significant risk for transmission of the
infection . It is very important to minimize the risk of transmission in dental office
reducing the load of SARS-CoV-2 in saliva if possible, in suspect or conformed cases.
Preprocedural mouth rises have been used widely to minimize the number of oral
microorganisms. Multiple studies confirmed the efficacy of those mouth rinses in reducing the
possibility of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 infection .
