To counter this pandemic, several governments worldwide have taken several drastic measures to try to stop the spread of the virus, including a very strict lockdown that has caused a sudden and, in many cases, negative change in people\u2019s daily lives. In the literature, several studies have shown how the pandemic has significantly impaired many people\u2019s mental health, causing short- and long-term stress, anxiety, and sleep disturbances.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Introduction:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study aims to analyze the correlation between the stress caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the parafunctions of the temporomandibular joint and masticatory muscles, which in turn, have led to an increase in the incidence of fractures and dental injuries. The ultimate goal is to understand the best choice the dentist must make in the preventive and therapeutic fields.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A questionnaire called \u201cIncidence of tooth fractures during the COVID-19 pandemic\u201d was prepared using the Google\n                      <jats:sup>\u00ae<\/jats:sup>\n                      Forms platform.

Of these, 450 (61.7%) stated that the number of patients reporting muscle and joint pain in the morning had increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. 414 (56.7%) dentists noted an increase in parafunction and 392 (53.6%) an increase in dental fractures during the pandemic period.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion and Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>As can be seen from the study results, an important correlation was found between the stress resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and dental fractures.
