Abstract

Introduction: Intracoronal bleaching is a simple, useful procedure for restoring the colour of discoloured root - filled teeth that are not extensively restored. Aim: The aim of the study is to assess the knowledge, awareness and perception on intracoronal bleaching among undergraduate dental students. Materials and methods: A descriptive cross sectional survey was conducted among 100 undergraduate dental students through a self administered questionnaire. The responses were collected, tabulated in excel sheets and analysed using SPSS software. Chi square test was used to analyze the level of knowledge on intracoronal bleaching among dental students in different years of study with statistical significance of P< 0.05. Results: The 4th year undergraduate dental students had high knowledge on intracoronal bleaching compared to others. 60.3 % of the participants were aware of the intracoronal bleaching with the p value of 0.002, which is statistically significant. Conclusion: This study concludes that the undergraduate dental students have a good knowledge and awareness on intracoronal bleaching and its techniques.
