Abstract: Aim: To assess awareness toward disinfection in clinical practise among dental students. Background: Dental clinic is an environment where disease transmission occurs easily. A high level of knowledge is necessitate on dental education about disinfection protocol. Disinfection and sterilization are essential for preventing transmission of infectious pathogens to patients , staffs and students. Infective hazards are present in dental practice because many infections can be transmitted by blood or saliva via direct or indirect contact, droplets, aerosols, or contaminated instruments and equipment. Materials and methods: A questionnaire based study was conducted among dental students and interns. 23 questions were distributed among 150 students through surveyplanet.com Results: majority of the students use gloves (81.3%) and wear protective eye wear (70%) during clinical practice. Sterilisation of handpiece burs and scalar tips were poorly maintained among students, which accounts for only 50-60%. Disinfection of impression rubber bowls and shade matching also reported less in frequency. Conclusion: Proper sterilisation and disinfection protocol is necessary to prevent infection among dental students.
