The professionals must be prepared to recognize theoral manifestations of the disease to promote the most adequate treatment. This study presents 5 cases of oral manifestations in patients diagnosed with Covid-19. The patients presented ulcerations, vesiculopapular lesions, papillary lesions, lingual erythesa, keratose-like lesions and white plaque. Lips, tongue, labial mucosa, palate and gum were affected.
