Abstract

Objective: The assessment of compliance with using personal protective equipment among a group of dental students. Methods: A non-participatory observation and self-administered questionnaire was distributed to a total of 72 dental student with cross sectional study design. Results: Of the total 72 questionnaires, the response rate was 100%. The majority of the participants were female students (76.4%). PPE compliance was also observed by 66 (91.7%) of the dentistry students, according to our findings. Only 18 (25%) of the participants had patient participation control, 56 (77.8%) had role model effect, and 60 (83.3%) had solid understanding of how to use PPE, according to the findings of this study. Gender, role model, patient involvement, and knowledge associated significantly with PPE compliance (p<0.05). Conclusion: Dental students show good compliance with the use of personal protective equipment. To minimize the risk of cross infection in dental clinics, continual education and adequate supplies of personal protective equipment are required.
