Abstract: With current outbreak and spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), it was recognized that there was a great risk of infection during the process of diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases. As a result, all the optional oral and dental treatments were suspended. However, the staff in the field of oral surgery are on their duties and responsible for the emergent treatment of oral and maxillofacial trauma, infection and extraction of teeth with severe pain that can't be retained. Here, we proposed informative suggestions on the indications requiring emergent treatment, treatment principles, risk assessment, patient preparation, protection of the surgeons and nurses, with the hope to help doctors and nurses who carry out oral surgeries during this special period.

Key words: 2019-nCoV, Oral surgery, Protection of infection
