Summary
The article presents the results of a survey of young people from 18 to 30 years who have undergone COVID-19. The study conducted a quantitative and qualitative analysis of lesions of the oral mucosa in medical university students during the period of COVID-19 disease and after recovery and identified the most common lesions of the oral mucosa associated with coronavirus infection. Pathological changes in the oral cavity have been identified, including with a mild course of coronavirus infection, reducing the quality of life, health and without timely treatment, leading to serious consequences. The obtained results of the study and the high percentage of manifestations characterizing postcovid syndrome justify the need for dental examination of these patients after their clinical recovery. The relationship between the course of the underlying disease COVID-19 and the severity of the lesion of the oral mucosa was revealed. It is determined that the more complex the form of the underlying disease, the longer and more severe the duration of dental symptoms. The role of a dentist in the timely diagnosis of dental manifestations in patients who have had a coronavirus infection and the selection of the most adapted treatment regimen depending on the clinical manifestations in the oral cavity in order to prevent the development of complications and the severe course of the identified pathology is shown.

Keywords: COVID-19, postcovid syndrome, oral mucous membrane, oral cavity, manifestations of COVID-19.
