Coronavirus is an enormous community of viruses that cause infections ranging from moderate to major serious illnesses, as well as extreme acute respiratory syndrome. The endodontic procedure, or treatment with the passage, treats the supple tissue of the pulp between the teeth. A dentist is a specialist who specializes in preserving teeth. The advent of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic was an essential international matter. As dental care physicians, each dental community and our patients are faced with a tremendous duty to restrict contact with the virus. Accordingly, intensive procedures and protocols should be tailor-made, as well as the handling of dental cases, especially emergency cases, in order to protect the lives of the sufferers, to reduce the risk of contamination, and to try and control the contamination between them. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the selection of proper recommended procedures and protocols for handling is required. The majority of the amended agreement papers, protocols, and proposals from entirely different societies and institutes have stressed the importance of offering the best possible treatment for procedures. At the same time, the management of COVID-19 cases, or suspected cases considered to be COVID-19 or alleged to be, is carried out by minimizing direct communication, enabling web messaging and dispensing of drugs, reducing direct contact with emergency dental cases and, finally, applying the very best degree of sanitization to either the equipment or the person. Finally, dealing with endodontic issues during the COVID-19 pandemic allows the dentist to take the highest degree of precautions, either by direct contact with patients or in the handling of devices and equipment; good collaboration between all partners would help with safety.
