COVID-19 emerged in China in the last month of 2019 and caused a global pandemic. It was stated that it is more rapidly spreading and contagious than SARS-COV and MERS-COV. Aerosol and droplet spreading are the most common modes of transmission of COVID-19 and are a con- cern in most dental procedures. For this reason, the popularity of minimally invasive dental pro- cedures is increasing due to the advantage of minimal aerosol formation and reducing the risk of COVID-19 cross-infection. Pediatric dentists may also prefer these procedures more frequently because of their high acceptability by children. This review article aims to explain the changes that may occur in dentistry and pediatric dentistry procedures as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
