Jadhav and Mittal for their letter to the editor in which they have put forward their concerns and suggestions regarding the manuscript titled 'Coronavirus Disease 19 : Implications for Clinical Dental Care' (1). We strongly agree with the concerns expressed by the authors regarding asymptomatic carriers of Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) and the potential transmission to dental health care professionals. However, it is noteworthy that pulse oximeter detects hypoxemia in contrast to "hypoxia" as mentioned by the authors. In agreement with the authors, oxygen saturation measurements are a vital screening tool to identify potential asymptomatic patients and should be incorporated into routine dental clinical practice. Notably, the potential importance of silent hypoxemia in COVID-19 patients has become evident only more recently (3) . We appreciate the authors for elaborating on the outline and basic design considerations for negative-pressure rooms/ airborne infection isolation rooms for dental practices.
