Description
Objective of this critical literature review was to analyze and systematize the potential impact of
the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of dental specialists. This bibliographic search was
carried out in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases, using the following search
keywords ―Psychiatry OR anxiety OR fear OR depression OR psychological distress OR mental
health‖ AND ―COVID-19 OR SARS-CoV-2‖ AND ―Dentists OR dental practice.
Original research publications that included data on dentists' mental health status during the
COVID-19 pandemic were included. Data were grouped, tabulated and rearranged in Microsoft
Excel 2016 for Windows and descriptively presented. Eleven publications were eligible for this
review. All studies characterized with a cross-sectional design. Most of them used questionnaires
created by study researchers (81.8%) and were carried out in Italy (45.5%). The number of
participants ranged from 14 to 1,500. Effects on dentists' mental health during the COVID-19
pandemic were observed regarding fear of contamination, anxiety, concerns, stress, depression,
job insecurity, subjective overload, perceived risk and feelings, and emotions.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on dentists' mental health, with a high
prevalence of fear, anxiety, and concern, among other psychological symptoms.
