Introdução: O novo coronavírus SARS-Cov-2, apareceu pela primeira vez em 2019, em Wuhan, China. Vários países, incluindo Portugal, estabeleceram medidas preventivas face ao combate do mesmo. Esta nova realidade imposta pelo Governo, associada ao medo e ansiedade, foram vivenciadas por grande parte da população. Assim sendo, os indivíduos na tentativa de refugiarem-se desta pressão psicológica podem adotar comportamentos orais inadequados e desenvolverem hábitos parafuncionais.
Objetivos: Avaliar a prevalência dos hábitos parafuncionais e da ansiedade desenvolvida durante a pandemia da Covid-19 e, analisar a relação entre os mesmos e com as variáveis sociodemográficas, na população residente em Portugal.
Materiais e métodos: Para a recolha de dados recorreu-se à aplicação do questionário online composta por 33 questões, dos quais encontravam-se incluídas perguntas sociodemográficas, da Escala de Ansiedade do Coronavirus e da Lista de Avaliação dos Comportamentos Orais. O mesmo encontrava-se disponível entre o mês de janeiro e março de 2021. A análise estatística incluiu a parte descritiva e inferencial. A última foi feita utilizando o teste t-student, One-Way ANOVA e correlação linear de Pearson (α=0,05).
Resultados: A amostra foi constituída por 710 respostas válidas, sendo a maior parte constituída por mulheres. A média dos níveis de ansiedade obtida foi considerada baixa, ainda assim, foram encontrados resultados estatisticamente significativos. Quanto aos comportamentos orais, 99,9% dos indivíduos tiveram algum tipo de comportamento oral, sendo verificada uma relação estatisticamente significativa entre o mesmo e as variáveis sociodemográficas. Foi ainda verificado, uma relação estatisticamente significativa entre a Escala de Ansiedade do Coronavirus e a maioria dos comportamentos orais, contudo esta relação variava desde fraca positiva a ínfima positiva.
Conclusão: De acordo com os níveis de ansiedade e prevalência dos hábitos parafuncionais verificados na amostra concluiu-se que, apesar da correlação entre as duas escalas serem estatisticamente significativas não foram clinicamente significativas.

Regarding oral behaviors, 99.9% of the individuals had some type of oral behavior, and a statistically significant relationship was verified between the oral and sociodemographic variables. A statistically significant relationship was also verified between the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale and most oral behaviors, however this relationship ranged from weak positive to small positive.
