In the marine sector of the city of Wuhan in China and spread quickly through other cities of China and other nations, extreme (2019-nCoV) even fetal pneumonia has occurred. The Covid-19 was distinct from SARS-CoV, but the human angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) expressed the same host receptor. The 2019-nCoV person-to - person routes involved active touch, such as cough, sneezing, inhalation droplet delivery and interaction delivery, such as gastrointestinal, nasal and visual mucous membranes. In addition, 2019-nCoV can be distributed through the saliva. Participants in dental work face-to - face contact and proximity to sweat, blood and other bodily fluids and the treatment of urgent equipment subject them to immense 2019-nCoV contamination. Dentists have an excellent position to perform in stopping 2019-nCoV transmission. The key method of spreading this disease is through inhalation of respiratory gout, for instance while the patients chat, sneeze, etc. Here we prescribe the management of infections during dental practice through obstructive transmission routes in dental clinical areas, as human-to-human transmission appears to occur mainly through closing up with symptoms involving Covid-19. The virus is often known for its potential to live outside living species, in aerosols or in infected equipment. Dentists are especially susceptible to Covid-19, since they cannot usually be more than one meter long and are exposed during surgical operations to spit, blood and other body fluids. In addition, a number of dental operations may produce aerosol, which is a greater source of airborne infection.
