Abstract

To assess the oral health awareness and knowledge about periodontal diseases among the students of Engineering Colleges. Material and methods- A study was conducted among 200 students to determine the sample size. The pilot study revealed major awareness rate among the students. Results- Despite the academic backgrounds, many participants demonstrated a lack of knowledge regarding common oral health issues such as bleeding gums and bad breath, with only a minority recognizing the role of poor oral hygiene. Conclusion- There is a pressing demand for inclusive educational initiatives aimed at fostering optimal oral health and providing fundamental instruction on proper oral hygiene practices from an early stage.
