About this study
Official title: Assessment of Oral Health Knowledge, Attitude and Behaviour and Its Association With Sociodemographic Factors of Preclinical and Clinical Dental Students in Cairo University: A Cross-Sectional Study
The knowledge, behaviour and attitude of oral health professionals reflects their awareness and understanding of oral preventive measures, which will have significant impact on their delivery of public oral health promotion in the future. They are expected to set an example for positive oral health behaviour among other college students, family members and their patients. Various external factors like sociodemographic factors like age, gender, marital state, occupation, and number of family members play a major role in oral hygiene. The relationships between various modifiable factors needs to be assesses in a vast manner.
There were some researches about oral health knowledge, behaviour and attitude in correlation to socio-demographic data, of dental students in other countries, but little was known in Egypt. Dental students are expected to play a critical role in instructing public oral health for improving their patient's, families, and friends. In addition, it may pave the way to develop new programs to encourage needful oral health practices.
