Abstract
This study investigated dental problems and radiological and cardiac evaluations in patients affected by Covid-19.
Heart disease is related to the health of the teeth, and people who have damaged and decayed teeth are more prone to
cardiovascular disease. Researchers have concluded that poor dental hygiene is a sign of acute heart disease risks. In
the report presented by Tarje Imna service, a group of researchers examined almost 65 thousand people infected with
the corona virus in order to evaluate the effects of the covid 19 virus on the oral and dental health of the affected
people. According to the results of this research, one of the effects of the corona virus on the body is the reduction of
oral moisture. Almost 43% of patients accepted this effect. In general, dry mouth is one of the causes of oral and dental
diseases, especially bad breath. Corona virus also increases the risk of tooth decay by reducing the moisture in the
mouth. Another effect of the corona virus on the mouth and teeth is to cause ulcers in the gums and tongue. Of course,
in this case, researchers do not comment with certainty, because they believe that other factors are also effective in
causing these wounds. Some experts say that considering that more than 47 percent of adults who are 30 years old or
older have periodontal diseases, such as gum infection, inflammation of the gums and bone around the teeth. We
should expect that the existing dental and oral problems will become more acute in case of infection with Covid-19.
