Introduction: In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, the dental surgeon as well as other health professionals are the most exposed to the virus, which requires greater biosafety in care. Objective: Within this context, the present study aims to assess the challenges of dental practice in the face of the current pandemic scenario, emphasizing the role of the dentist in preventing the virus and the necessary adaptations in the dental environment. Material and method: This is a literature review carried out through the analysis of articles contained in the LILACS, PubMed and Medline platforms that fulfilled the informational purpose of the research. Results: From the data obtained, it was observed that COVID-19 presents as main clinical symptoms fever, cough, sneezing and runny nose, in mild cases. The most frequent routes of transmission are direct and contact. In order to identify suspected cases, the dentist must measure the patient's body temperature and apply a brief questionnaire. The entire course of care must be planned in order to reduce the risk of contamination, from the choice of instruments to be used to the execution of the procedure. Conclusion: Therefore, in the current scenario of the pandemic, new challenges arise to which professionals must respond with constant caution regarding biosafety, due to training with periodicity and ethics. However, the demand for constant updating of protocols is further reinforced, based on the most recent scientific evidence, to minimize the risks of virus transmission.
