In 2019, the world was struck by a viral pathology that affected not only people's physiological health but their mental health. The coronavirus directly affects the respiratory system of an infected individual, causing serious breathing problems that have led to many deaths. However, not only respiratory complications were a consequence of COVID-19, but the development of psychological illnesses was quite common, a result of the drastic change in life that people had to go through and face the fear of uncertainty. This directly affected people's oral health, causing problems such as temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and bruxism to occur more frequently in people. This work aims to carry out a literature review, of articles taken from online databases, such as PubMed, Scielo, and Google Academic, to analyze the increase in cases of occlusion problems generated in the pandemic as a result of stress, anxiety, and depression. developed by people during the pandemic, in addition to showing diagnosis and treatment carried out by dental surgeons on the front line of contamination (the oral cavity).

The prevalence of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is significantly high around the world. We conducted a literature review to determine the prevalence of TMD globally and in Saudi Arabia based on published studies. This review article collected 35 full-text articles after searching PubMed for TMD prevalence between 2015-2021. Assessing the prevalence of TMDs is important for several reasons, including providing an overview of the incidence of such disorders, educating the community, clarifying the gender and age group with the highest prevalence, establishing a program to prepare specialists to treat these disorders, and identifying the appropriate number of specialists by comparing TMD prevalence to Saudi Arabia's census. Out of 35 selected articles, thirty studies were done outside Saudi Arabia, and five were local. Less than 40% prevalence of TMD has been reported with associated factors such as gender, psychological status, and age. The female gender has shown a higher TMD rate than the male gender. Some authors have suggested conducting a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) assessment in the pediatric clinic. Moreover, TMD screening is an important tool for every patient visiting the dental clinic to assess TMJ status and treat TMD at early stages, especially in non-painful cases.

Purpose/objectives: This study investigates the frequency of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in dental students, and evaluates the association between TMDs, psychological states, and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). The presence of bruxism was also determined.Methods: Two hundred ninety-three dental students completed the Symptom Checklist 90-Revised (SCL-90-R) and Oral Health Impact Profile 14 (OHIP-14) questionnaires and underwent a clinical examination according to Diagnostic Criteria for TMDs. Results: TMDs were detected in 46.4% of the dental students. OHIP-14 scores of students with TMDs were significantly higher than scores for students without TMDs (p < 0.05). Significant differences were observed in all SCL-90-R scores among students with and without TMDs, except for phobic anxiety and additional SCL-90-R subscale scores (p < 0.05). The prevalence of myalgia was significantly higher in clinical students (26.6%) than in preclinical students (15.6%).OHIP-14 scores of clinical students were significantly higher than preclinical students (p < 0.05). Conclusions:In dental students, there was a high frequency of TMDs and bruxism. OHRQoL was poorer in clinical students. Levels of anxiety, depression, and somatization were not different in clinical and preclinical students. SCL-90-R scores are higher in students with TMDs except for phobic anxiety and additional SCL-90-R subscale scores.
