“…Consequently, the oral cavity could be considered a “biological barometer” of the viral immunosuppression advancement. Moreover, an implication of certain viral agents has been seen in dysplastic and neoplastic transformations of squamous epithelium (i.e., HPV) ( 1 , 2 ). General and specialist dentists play a crucial role in evaluating, diagnosing, and managing such lesions, particularly considering the impacts of oral diseases on overall health and quality of life.…”

“…Initially involved in primary infections, they then remain dormant but can later cause secondary or recurrent infections. Eight types of HSV have been identified as human pathogens, and most are responsible for oral diseases ( 1 , 23 , 25 – 35 ). HPVs are non-enveloped viruses containing double-stranded DNA ( 36 ).…”

“…The oral wart is a generic term used to identify all papillary and verrucal proliferations. Squamous papilloma is one of the most represented papillary lesions in the oral cavity ( 1 , 36 ). Oral lesions can also be secondary due to an immunosuppression state, such as occurs in HIV infection ( 43 , 44 ).…”

Different viral agents, such as herpesviruses, human papillomavirus, and Coxsackie virus, are responsible for primary oral lesions, while other viruses, such as human immunodeficiency virus, affect the oral cavity due to immune system weakness. Interestingly, it has been reported that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients can show cutaneous manifestations, including the oral cavity. However, the association between oral injuries and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is still unclear. This narrative review aimed to summarize the available literature and provide an overview of oral lesions associated with COVID-19. An online literature search was conducted to select relevant studies published up to November 2020. The results of 17 studies showed variability in oral lesions associated with COVID-19, including ulcerations, aphthous-like lesions, and macules. The tongue, lips, and palate were the most frequent anatomical locations. According to current knowledge, the etiopathogenesis of multiple COVID-19-associated lesions seems to be multifactorial. The appearance of such lesions could be related to the direct or indirect action of SARS-CoV-2 over the oral mucosa cells, coinfections, immunity impairment, and adverse drug reactions. Nevertheless, COVID-19-associated oral lesions may be underreported, mainly due to lockdown periods and the lack of mandatory dispositive protection. Consequently, further research is necessary to determine the diagnostic and pathological significance of oral manifestations of COVID-19. All medical doctors, dentists, and dermatologists are encouraged to perform an accurate and thorough oral examination of all suspected and confirmed COVID-19 cases to recognize the disease's possible early manifestations.

“…Es reconocida la susceptibilidad que tiene la cavidad oral para la aparición de lesiones asociadas a virus ADN Y ARN, como Citomegalovirus (CMV) Virus Herpes Simple (VHS), l Virus Papiloma Humano (VPH) y rotavirus. También, en la mucosa oral podemos encontrar lesiones bacterianas o micóticas las cuales se pueden relacionar con inmunosupresión viral, tal como lo podemos encontrar en el Virus de la Inmunodeficiencia Humana (VIH) 287,288 .…”
