Since its emergence in December 2019, corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has impacted several countries, and making it a global public threat. The routes of transmission are direct contact, and droplet and possible aerosol transmissions. Due to the unique nature of dentistry, most dental procedures generate significant amounts of droplets and aerosols, posing potential risks of infection transmission. The current study was conducted to assess anxiety and fear of getting infected among dentists while working during the current novel coronavirus diseases (COVID-19) outbreak and dentist’s knowledge about various practice modifications to combat COVID-19 has been evaluated. The questionnaire study was conducted using an online survey from July 202 0 to December 2020.
