Based on the analysis of existing data on the immunopathogenesis of the disease, the main risk factors and routes of infection, the principles of systematization of COVID-associated diseases (conditions) of the oral cavity, the proposed approaches to their correction and treatment were discussed. Based on the results of our own observations and analysis of foreign publications, clinical variants of the manifestation of the disease (or its medication support) in the oral cavity have been analyzed. The important role of interdisciplinary approaches (dentists, healthcare organizers, epidemiologists, microbiologists, immunologists, etc.) to solving dental problems during a pandemic is emphasized.
