Abstract
Most dental procedures require close contact with the patient’s oral cavity, saliva, blood, and respiratory tract secretions. Saliva is rich in COVID-19 viral load.

Use of PPE kit and rest of the precautionary measures increases the treatment cost which is again a challenge for both dentist and patient.
