Limitations and Caveats

The present study has some limitations. Since the stress and anxiety levels of the dentists participating in the study prior to the pandemic are not known, the extent of the increase in these levels is unknown. In addition, because this is a cross-sectional study, the findings reflect only a certain period of the pandemic. Only scales related to COVID-19 were included, as it was thought that participants might be reluctant to participate in a longer survey.
