A KAP-based evaluation on the role of climate change in shaping dental practices.
Climate change poses a significant threat to oral health and the sustainability of dental care systems. Therefore, it is of interest to assess the dental students' knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) on climate change and sustainability. While most understood the environmental impact and felt responsible, fewer individuals adopted sustainable practices, such as maintaining digital records and segregating waste. Barriers included a lack of training and institutional support. The findings underscore the need for curriculum reforms and policy adjustments to foster sustainability in dentistry.
