Background and objectives: Covid-19 pandemic has caused an unprecedented human and health crisis worldwide. It remained a main concern for the dental professionals. Dental practitioners began to seriously worry about the infection and cross-infection control after its rapid and extensive spread. The study was planned to assess dental students' knowledge and awareness towards infection control after COVID-19 pandemic and related prosthodontic infection management practices. Materials and methods:A questionnaire-based study was planned and conducted among 380 dental students in the Post graduate Department of Prosthodontics and Crown & Bridge, Indira Gandhi Govt. Dental College Jammu. The current interim guidance and information for general and dental healthcare practitioners was provided by World Health Organization(WHO) and the US Centers for Disease Prevention and Control(CDC) for infection prevention in COVID-19 and this information served as the foundation for the questionnaire's design. A total of 380 respondents answered a questionnaire about the awareness, knowledge and infection control practices related to COVID-19 infection in dental clinics. To collect the data, a reasonable sampling strategy was used. The distribution of responses was shown using tables, bar graphs, and pie charts. For individual comparisons, the Chi-Square test was employed to ascertain the percentage of suitable answers.
