Introduction: One of the professions most exposed to the contagion of COVID-19 is dentistry. However, the prevalence and positivity rates are low in dentists, indicating that current infection control instances may be sufficient to prevent infection in dental settings. Objective: To determine the monitoring of preventive measures and knowledge perceived by dental students and professionals during the mandatory social isolation due to COVID-19 in Latin America and the Caribbean in 2020. Methods: Cross-sectional study, through virtual anonymous surveys in a convenience sample made up of dental students and professionals from 21 Latin American and Caribbean countries, the variables being preventive measures for COVID-19 and sociodemographic characteristics: Results: Knowledge about COVID-19 was found associated with sociodemographic characteristics and if they knew someone with COVID-19 (p <0.05). Concern about COVID-19 was associated with sex, nutritional status, and meeting someone with COVID-19 (p <0.05). The days of isolation and confinement qualification were associated with age, training, specialty, and if they met someone with COVID-19 (p <0.05). The follow-up of recommendations to prevent COVID-19 such as the use of masks, hand washing and distancing, was associated with age, training, specialty, place of origin and if they knew someone with COVID-19 (p <0.05). Conclusion: It is concluded that both students and dentists in Latin America and the Caribbean follow preventive measures for COVID-19 during mandatory social isolation in 2020.
