Resumo: Objective: To assess dental surgeons´ knowledge regarding oral manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Study Design: A self-administered multiple-choice questionnaire was prepared using Google Forms and distributed through social media. Results: The survey included 63 dental surgeons, and 47 participants were female. Most participants were aware of the association between the virus and host (63.49%), knew that oral candidiasis was related to the antibiotics prescribed for COVID-19 therapy (68.25%), and that hydroxychloroquine, ceftriaxone sodium, and azithromycin caused changes in oral health (55.55%). A high proportion of professionals (68.25%) were aware that fungal, viral, and bacterial coinfections could be acquired during hospitalization. Although 52.38% of dentists responded that they knew how the oral manifestations of COVID-19 were triggered, less than half (20.63%) were aware of the most common conditions (xerostomia, oral ulcerations, vesicular lesions, and acute parotitis) associated with angiotensin converting enzyme 2 during severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. Conclusion: Dentists have general knowledge regarding the impact of COVID-19 on oral health and should be updated on the most common oral manifestations.
