ABSTRACT
Introduction:
COVID-19 pandemic has been the most challenging global health concern that the world has ever seen and is the focus of active research around the world. The interaction of the SARS CoV2 virus with the target cells, their action on the immune system and the subsequent reaction has all been linked to the inflammatory processes that are taking place in the human body mainly the oxidative stress.Objective:
Through this article we aim to analyse the effect of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of COVID-19, highlighting the role of the same in the oral manifestations that are being reported in literature and its subsequent impact in the transmission and propagation of SARS-CoV2. The role of antioxidants in the control of the SARS-CoV2 infection has also been explored.Materials andMethods:
Four reviewers independently collected the data pertaining to the topic from case reports and review articles published in electronic databases like PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct and Research gate.Conclusion:
Increased release of cytokines known as cytokine storm has been associated with disease progression, oral manifestation as well as adverse effects in patients with COVID 19. However, as this is an ongoing pandemic with new mu-tations occurring frequently, further clinical trials are required to evaluate the exact mechanisms that may be at play in the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV2 infection.
