To understand the potential impact of COVID-19 on dental care and oral health and assess the risks to DHPs from the disease while providing essential services to the community, we periodically searched and reviewed published literature in PubMed and Google Scholar using various combinations of keywords, including SARS CoV-2, COVID-19, Dental, Dentist, Dentistry, Droplets, Aerosols, Healthcare Workers, Symptomatic, Asymptomatic, Saliva, PPE, N95 Masks, Face Shields, and Infection Fatality Rate.	./cache/cord-334268-n2hon61o.txt	./txt/cord-334268-n2hon61o.txt
