The worldwide pandemic has exposed healthcare professionals to a high risk of infection, exacerbating the situation of uncertainty caused by COVID-19. The objective of this review was to evaluate the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on dental professionals and their patients. A literature review was conducted using Medline-Pubmed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases, excluding systematic reviews, narratives, meta-analyses, case reports, book chapters, short communications, and congress papers. A modified version of the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to evaluate the quality of the selected studies. The search retrieved 3879 articles, and 123 of these were selected for the review (7 longitudinal and 116 cross-sectional studies). Elevated anxiety levels were observed in dental professionals, especially in younger and female professionals. Except for orthodontic treatments, patients reported a high level of fear that reduced their demand for dentist treatment to emergency cases alone. The results suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic has had psychological and emotional consequences for dental professionals and their patients. Further research is necessary to evaluate the persistence of this problem over time.

“…The survey questionnaire was circulated towards the end of 2020 during which several countries worldwide were experiencing restrictions as a result of the coronavisus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic. Dentists across the world were shown to experience higher levels of stress, anxiety, and depression, which is likely to have resulted in a lack of engagement with survey studies 28,29 . Other limitations which the authors acknowledge include the introduction of selection bias as a result of the various data collection methods and the inherent problems associated with questionnaire surveys such as bias and subjectivity.…”

“…The low knowledge and self-reported confidence in the management of dental trauma reported in this survey could stem from several reasons such as the lack of a clinician's prior adequate training and experience in managing dental trauma cases, in addition to and depression, which is likely to have resulted in a lack of engagement with survey studies. 28,29 Other limitations which the authors acknowledge include the introduction of selection bias as a result of the various data collection methods and the inherent problems associated with questionnaire surveys such as bias and subjectivity.…”

Background/Aim: The knowledge of standardized care guidelines is critical to the confidence of practitioners in managing dental trauma. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the awareness, use and impact of the International Association of Dental Traumatology guidelines, and the online Dental Trauma Guide on general dental practitioners' self-reported confidence and knowledge in managing traumatic dental injuries in the primary and permanent dentitions. Materials and Methods:A cross-sectional, pre-piloted, 27-item self-administered questionnaire survey was distributed electronically to general dental practitioners' working within five member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries (Kingdom of Bahrain, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, and Qatar) between September and December 2020. Data were collected and analysed using descriptive statistics and Wilcoxon Signed Rank test analysis for relevant comparisons.Results: A total of 294 respondents completed the survey, with the majority being from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (47.4%) and Qatar (27.3%). A lack of evidence-based knowledge in managing traumatic dental injuries was evident among more than half of the respondents. Respondents who were cognizant of the recent International Association of Dental Traumatology guidelines (2020) and those who use the Dental Trauma Guide routinely demonstrated a higher self-reported confidence level in managing both simple and complex primary dentition trauma, as well as simple traumatic dental injuries in the permanent dentition (p < .05). Conclusion:This survey highlights critical deficiencies in the knowledge of a large number of the respondents in the management of dental trauma which is likely to cause irreversible long-term patient effects.

“…Contrary to the fact that dentists were infected much less often in the first pandemic year, their assessment of high professional risk was 64.8% in the first year, while in the second year it was moderately lower, 38.2%. The lower risk assessment can be explained by the greater accessibility of information about COVID-19 infection, the availability of the vaccine, and less working anxiety in the second pandemic year compared to the beginning of the pandemic [ 23 , 24 ]. On the other hand, the assessment of the possibility to protect oneself from COVID-19 infection was approximately the same at the beginning of the pandemic as recently (pretty unsure 55.4% in 2022 and 59.6% in 2022).…”

Background: As the pandemic time went by in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H), various patterns toward COVID-19 itself and its impacts, implementation of prescribed preventive measures among the team members, and those of their patients, including immunization process, have been revealed. These patterns were of both empirical and evidence-based kind and consequently formed dental personnel behavior. The aim was to evaluate and compare the COVID-19 status of dentists in B&H, implementation of prescribed preventive measures, and usage of various kinds of PPE, at the beginning of the pandemics and now, 2.5 years later, including dentists’ current vaccination status, and their opinions and attitudes toward the national COVID-19 economic impact on dental practice. Methodology: Study research was in a form of a cross-sectional longitudinally designed online survey and was conducted in two parts. Results and conclusions: Dental professionals in B&H had a high frequency of COVID-19 symptoms in the second pandemic year. The vaccination status of dentists in B&H was in line with the global average values of vaccinated professionals. Dentists used patient management preventive measures and PPE recommended by WHO, but some preventive measures have been changed and prioritized recently. The economic impact of pandemics on dentistry was predominantly negative.
