The information presented in this narrative review supports the use of antiseptic mouth rinses, both as a single preprocedural use and as daily use during a limited period of time, to impact the transmission and/or pathogenicity of SARS-CoV-2, since they have shown to reduce the oral viral load and, therefore, they may reduce the severity of the disease in an infected subject and may reduce the risk of transmission, by reducing the viral load in aerosols, expelled during dental procedures, or in droplets generated when breathing, talking, sneezing, coughing, etc. ./cache/cord-347968-jhnr8k3j.txt ./txt/cord-347968-jhnr8k3j.txt
