Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the oral lesions that occur during or after the COVID-19 disease in patients who have applied to Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University Faculty of Dentistry for any reason.
Materials and Method: A total of 160 patients were included in the study. A questionnaire consisting of 14 questions was applied to the participants about their socio-demographic information and dental status. Patients were asked questions about dental sensitivity, dry mouth, bleeding gums, edema in the oral tissues and mobility in the teeth during the Covid-19 quarantine periods.
Results: 43% of the participants stated that they experienced dry mouth during and after COVID-19. When we look at the answer given to the question of whether you have experienced sensitivity in your teeth during or after the COVID-19 process, they answered yes at a rate of 24%. 5.8% of the individuals stated that they felt mobility in their teeth. When we compared the effects of tooth brushing and flossing on gingival bleeding, no statistically significant difference was found.
Conclusion: In studies evaluating COVID-19 and oral lesions, it is stated that dry mouth and aphthous lesions are the most common lesions. According to the results of our study, we think that COVID-19 may have possible effects on dental tissue, such as sensitivity and mobility.
