Abstract

Introduction: periodontal disease is an infectious and inflammatory condition, and its development and severity involves local factors such as biofilm and systemic factors specific to the host.

Objective: to argue the relationship between periodontal disease and complications in patients with comorbidities and COVID-19.

Methods: a narrative literature review was carried out using the Google Scholar search engine in databases such as Clinicalkey, Pubmed, Scielo, Medigraphic. Inclusion criteria were: studies from the last five years, epidemiological studies, observational studies in patients. Exclusion criteria: studies older than five years, monographs, literature reviews, studies not performed on humans.

Results: the literature consulted indicates that there is a direct relationship between COVID-19 and the severity of periodontal disease in patients with comorbidities such as diabetes, hypertension or cardiovascular disease, and obesity, among others. During the course of the pandemic, there were significant findings of oral manifestations in patients with COVID-19, and it also plays an important role in virus entry and transmission.

Conclusions: oral health plays an important role in the prevention and eventual complications due to COVID-19, taking into account the systemic risk factors that could lead to aggravate the disease.
