Medical professionals have an early opportunity to diagnose the signs of oral disorders and can help dental professionals for timely intervention.After taking an informed consent, a standard questionnaire was asked to be filled by a total of three hundred and twenty seven participants (Doctors, Medical and Nursing students). Analyses were done with regard to knowledge, practice and awareness of oral dental health of the participants. The data was analyzed using chi-square test for categorical data.Regarding the knowledge of oral health, 92% of the participants were aware that brushing prevents tooth decay and periodontal diseases. Regarding the attitude towards oral health, 81% of the participants were aware that dental check-up is necessary during pregnancy. Regarding awareness about oral health, 83% knew that oral and general health were related. Regarding root canal treatment, only 57-73% participants correctly responded to the given questionnaire. However, a statistically significant difference was observed between medical and nursing professionals regarding knowledge pertaining to oral health and root canal treatment. The oral health knowledge, attitude and awareness was limited to very few areas like importance of brushing, the importance of maintaining oral health during pregnancy and relation of oral and general health. However, knowledge about preserving the grossly decayed tooth by root canal treatment and its success was very limited in medical professionals.Medical professionals have better knowledge, awareness and attitude about oral health than nursing students and faculty.","PeriodicalId":441224,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Oral Health","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126927971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Graduates trained from private dental colleges formed the majority. A significant proportion was currently unemployed (27%). The private sector was the predominant employment avenue for the dental graduates (90.9%). A notable proportion of the study participants did not have a regular income (32.1%). The current employment status of the graduates showed a statistically significant difference in proportions according to gender, type of educational institution, and the employment status of the graduates’ male parents. There were significant differences in the current financial situation according to gender, caste, and training background.The study reveals the existence of a high rate of unemployment among the recent dental graduates of Kerala. Their financial situation is indicative of vulnerability and dependent status. These findings have major policy implications for dental training and regulation of dental profession in the country.","PeriodicalId":441224,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Oral Health","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133867912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
