description Imparting dental education in times of the current pandemic of COVID-19 has transformed it to a Gordian knot. Dental education must focus on educating dental students for a lifetime of clinical practice. It must inspire them to pursue professional development during this era of rapid advancements and transformation, while being ethical and empathic. This pandemic has denied or limited access to clinical learning avenues for students. Hence, there is a need to adapt to the ‘new normal’ during and after this pandemic by finding a viable solution. This adverse situation must stimulate the dental educators to prepare a COVID-proof curriculum to tackle any (including the current) pandemic situation and prepare academicians to be ready to face such untoward occurrences in future. This would entail redefining learning outcomes, improvising teaching protocols, and adapting current assessment practices.
