In the first step of selecting studies, 40 studies were selected to review the abstracts. Finally, six studies were selected.Results:
The effect size of symptoms of COVID-19 was fever 92% (ES = 0.92, 95% CI 0.79-1.06), cough 73% (ES = 0.73, 95% CI 0.59-0.88), headache 8% (ES = 0.8, 95% CI 0.06-0.22), myalgia 13% (ES = 0.13, 95% CI 0.01-0.27) and nasal congestion 22% (ES = 0.22, 95% CI 0.06-0.39). The following recommendations are appropriate during COVID-19 for dental emergency management personal protective equipment and hand cleanliness practices, personal protective equipment (PPE), preprocedural mouth rinse, single-use (disposable), cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and periapical (PA) radiography, Rubber dam, sodium hypochlorite for root canal irrigation, disinfect inanimate surfaces, ultrasonic scaling instruments and airborne infection isolation.Conclusion:
