    The objective of this study was to determine the level of anxiety in adult patients regarding dental care during the COVID-19 pandemic at a dental center in Lima in 2020. This was an observational, prospective, and cross-sectional study that included 203 patients of both sexes over 18 years old who attended the aforementioned dental center. A previously validated survey, the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale by Corah, was applied to collect demographic characteristics of the participants and the type of treatment received to diagnose anxiety levels during the COVID-19 pandemic. Each participant voluntarily consented by signing an informed consent form. The results showed that 40.89% of respondents presented a mild level of anxiety. A significant association was found between different levels of anxiety and the variable age, with a predominance in the 18 to 39-year-old range (64.53%). Higher prevalence was also observed in females (64.53%), participants with higher education (60.10%), single marital status (59.11%), and in restorative treatments (29.06%). In conclusion, the application of the Norman Corah Test allowed the determination that a high percentage of individuals did not report dental anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic. Among those who did, moderate anxiety was the most representative.
