The aim of the present study was to analyze the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the academic performance of dental students in Brazil. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using a questionnaire available on the Google Forms application and shared via social networks, such as WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook, as well as electronic addresses (e-mails) to 383 students. This number was defined by the sample size calculation. After conducting a pilot study, the "virtual snowball" technique was used to collect responses. Descriptive and inferential analyses of the data were performed using frequencies and multinomial logistic regression, with a 5% significance level. Most students (72%) were female and studied at private dental schools (81.5%). Dissatisfaction was found for both remote classes (42.1% completely and 25.4% partially) and academic training (44.1% completely and 25.6% partially), with a reported drop in performance among 70.7% of the students and thoughts of abandoning their studies (40.5% answered “yes” and 10.2% answered "maybe"). Region of residence and device used to follow classes exerted an influence on thoughts of abandoning studies (p <0.05 and p = 0.031, respectively). Moreover, the level of computer knowledge exerted an influence on academic performance during the pandemic (p = 0.009). In conclusion, a drop in academic performance occurred among dental students during the pandemic. The lack of preparedness for the remote model and difficulties related to learning demonstrate that “Emergency Remote Education” was insufficient to cover the range of skills to be developed during training.
