    Objective: The objective of this research was to evaluate the level of oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among dentistry students at Norbert Wiener University during the COVID-19 pandemic in Lima, 2021. Methodology: A quantitative, applied, and descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted. A sample of 341 students enrolled in all cycles of the dentistry program was obtained through random sampling. The participants received a questionnaire via email (Google Forms format) containing questions about OHRQoL factors, demographic factors, and psychosocial factors. The questionnaire was previously validated in content by expert judgment and internal consistency analysis (Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of 0.849). Results: The findings revealed that 68.9% of the students had a high OHRQoL, with a low impact across all dimensions except for handicap, which showed no impact. A significant relationship was found between most psychosocial factors (psychological instability, economic insecurity, academic, physical, and social insecurity) and the level of quality of life, while no relationship was found with demographic factors. Conclusion: A high level of OHRQoL predominated, which was related to various psychosocial factors.
