Objective: To associate the use of dental services and the need for treatment in patients in Lima, Peru during social isolation mandated by COVID-19 in the year 2020. Methods: Observational, analytical and cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 223 residents who met the inclusion criteria. National self-report surveys were used as a basis for selecting questions related to the variables use of dental services, treatment need and covariates as sex, occupation, level of education, district of residence, age, income and health insurance. A descriptive analysis was carried out using absolute and relative frequencies, a bivariate analysis using the chi-square test and a multivariate analysis using Poisson regression with robust variance where crude and adjusted prevalence ratios were reported. Results: 58.3% of the respondents didn’t make use of the dental service during the mandatory social isolation despite needing care, the main reason for non-attendance being the COVID-19 pandemic (37.67%). In addition, it was recorded that urgency (24.66%) was the most predominant need for treatment. No statistically significant association was found between the use of dental services and the need for treatment. Conclusion: Patients, despite having a need for treatment, did not necessarily use dental services during the period of compulsory social isolation in Peru in the year 2020.
