Abstract
The prevalence of oral manifestations among COVID-19 patients is of interest. This is a cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study conducted among 23 recovered COVID-19 patients aged over 18 years. The results showed the prevalence of oral manifestations up to 45%, with ageusia as the major outcome in 60% of the positive cases. These manifestations were predominantly observed in moderate to severe cases of COVID-19 among male patients above 50 years of age. More studies with sufficient sample sizes and broader regional representation are recommended to validate these observations.
