Evaluating COVID-19 Patients' Psychological Conditions in the Dental Health Context
Abstract
Twelve months after being released from the hospital after contracting COVID-19, patients show notable changes in comparison to those who did not have the virus, as evidenced by a number of indicators, including a dry mouth, decreased taste perception, bleeding gums, discomfort during meals, a decline in emotional health, communication diffi culties, and less meticulous oral hygiene. Both the severity of the coronavirus infection and overall health were found to be negatively correlated with the likelihood of caries and dry mouth, respectively.
