Document: 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.

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.
