| Abstract: | Background: As epidemiological data demonstrate, dental workers are exposed during their activity to a biological risk that may result in serious damages for their health. Vaccination practice is one of the main instruments for prevention of infectious diseases, and thus an important measure for protection of dental personnel. AIM: To create awareness about essential vaccines given for dentists among undergraduate dental students by a survey based questionnaire. Materials and methods: A survey is taken in form of a questionnaire and it is given to 100 Dental students. Questionnaire was prepared based on the awareness about essential vaccines among Dental students. The questionnaire include the vaccines that are to be taken by the dentists, organisms that cause nosocomial infections, mode of transmission , vaccination against hepatitis B and other organisms . The questionnaire consists of 10 questions and was distributed to 100 Dental students through online link using survey planet.The results were statistically analysed. Results: 79% of the dentists have remembered what vaccines they have taken and 11% of the dentists don’t remember .83% of the people are aware about the organisms transmitted during dental procedure and 17% don’t know.83% of the people are aware of the vaccines that are needed to be taken and 17% are unaware.65% of the dentists are vaccinated against hepatitis B ,9% of the people are vaccinated against MMR , 4% of the people are vaccinated against varicella virus and 22% of the people are vaccinated by the above vaccines.90% of the people are aware of the risk of spreading diseases from patients to dentists and 10% are unaware. Conclusion: Many dentists do not know the essential vaccines given for rare deadly diseases.Hence this survey helps the dentists understand about the diseases and can be prevented in near future. Since this survey is conducted among small scale, the awareness must be created among broad scale that involves many dental professionals , practioners and even common people so that they can know about the vaccines against diseases that can spread while doing any treatment. |
