ABSTRACT

The psychological impact on dental students and dentists due to the Covid-19 pandemic was moderate;negative sensations of insecurity, stress, nervousness and feelings of sadness were moderate (scores≥3). The fear of infection with the SarS-CoV-2 virus from patients was moderate (scores≥3), but the fear of infecting close people was high (scores≥4). Concerns about their families' health problems were also increased (scores≥4). Students and dentists did not regret choosing this profession and did not lose control over their lives (scores≥1).
