This study aims to analyze the mental health and quality of life of dental students. The dissertation is composed of two articles. The first is an integrative review that investigates the prevalence of common mental disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and stress, among dental students and the main associated factors. The second article is an empirical, cross-sectional study conducted with 111 dental students at a public university in Bahia, with the objective of evaluating the association between anxiety and quality of life, in addition to investigating the relationship with sociodemographic, health, and academic characteristics. The mixed-method (qualitative quantitative) research used the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and the WHOQOL-BREF. The qualitative part explored the difficulties of the course and the future concerns of the students, especially those resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The review study revealed high levels of depression, anxiety, and stress among dental students in various countries around the world, which were accentuated during the COVID-19 pandemic. The highest prevalences were found in studies in Turkey (82.1%, 79.6%, 72.9%), Brazil (64.2%, 67.5%, 61.7%), Portugal (63.3%, 59%, 77.3%), and Malaysia (60.6%, 66.8%, 50.4%). The empirical study, in turn, revealed an anxiety prevalence of 39.64%. Independent predictors found were the presence of physical symptoms related to anxiety during the course (sweating, tachycardia, and shortness of breath), which increased the chance of anxiety by approximately three times (OR = 3.35; p = 0.001), and the psychological domain of the WHOQOL-BREF, which acted as a protective factor, reducing the probability of anxiety (OR = 0.93; p = 0.028). The qualitative analysis demonstrated that an extensive course load, activity overload, lack of time, and financial issues are the most frequently reported difficulties. Among future concerns, students reported a fear of not being prepared for the job market and the vulnerability of the dentist in a pandemic scenario.
