Abstract

Background:Zincoxidenanorods were employed as the primary ultra- violet protection agent in the formulation of sunscreens. Examination of ZnO powder through FESEM and TEM micrographs revealed the predominant presence of rod-like structures with a width range between 61-70 nm. Notably, sunscreens containing 20-40% (by weight) of ZnOnanorods exhibited significantly improved UV absorbance across both UVA and UVB spectra (280-400 nm). This study mainly aims to assess the Knowledge Attitude and Awareness Regarding ZnOnanorodsinSunscreenProtectionAmongUndergraduateDentalStudents. Aim: Knowledge Attitude and Awareness Regarding ZnO Sunscreen Protection Among Undergraduate Dental Students. Objective: Analyzing and determining the Knowledge Attitude and Awareness Regarding ZnO Sunscreen Protection Among Undergraduate Dental Students. Method: A cross sectional study was conducted among the dental students (II,III, IV, interns) in a tertiary care teaching hospital,Khammam, using a web basedtool called forms pro, a semi-structural online questionnaire was designed and distributed to the students in order to fill.Descriptive statistics were calculated using SPSS verson-29..A p- value <0.05 was used to evaluate statistical significance. Result: A total of 209 students took part with females (70.8%) and males (29.2%). Age of participants ranges from 19-25 years. In this study female students have more knowledge and awareness regarding ZnO Sunscreen Protection compared to males. Among all the students Interns have more knowledge, followed by IV-BDS, III-BDS and II-BDS. Conclusion: The study result suggests that knowledge and awareness level of ZnO Sunscreen Protection is adequate.

口腔医学本科生对zno防晒霜的认识、态度和意识

背景：Zincoxidenanorods 被用作防晒霜配方中的主要紫外线防护剂。通过 FESEM 和 TEM 显微照片对氧化锌粉末进行检测，发现主要存在宽度在 61-70 nm 之间的棒状结构。值得注意的是，含有 20-40%（按重量计）氧化锌的防晒霜在 UVA 和 UVB 光谱（280-400 纳米）上的紫外线吸收率都有显著提高。本研究的主要目的是评估牙科专业大学生对锌纳罗德防晒霜的认知态度和意识。目的：牙科专业本科生对氧化锌防晒的认识和态度。目的分析并确定口腔医学本科生对氧化锌防晒的认知态度和意识。方法：对牙科专业本科生进行横断面研究：使用名为 forms pro 的网络工具，设计了一份半结构化在线问卷，并分发给学生填写。结果共有 209 名学生参加了调查，其中女性占 70.8%，男性占 29.2%。参与者的年龄在 19-25 岁之间。与男生相比，女生对氧化锌防晒霜有更多的了解和认识。在所有学生中，实习生拥有更多的知识，其次是 IV-BDS、III-BDS 和 II-BDS。结论研究结果表明，对氧化锌防晒霜的了解和认识水平是足够的。
