    Students significantly overestimate their oral hygiene and dental health compared to objective assessments. This highlights a gap between perceived knowledge and actual application of good dental practices.

    Area of Science:

    • Stomatology
    • Public Health
    • Health Behavior

    Context:

    • Investigated self-assessment accuracy in dental and oral hygiene among students.
    • Compared subjective evaluations with objective clinical findings.
    • Assessed oral hygiene habits and health knowledge through anonymous questionnaires.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the discrepancy between students' self-perceived oral health and objective dental status.
    • To understand the gap between health knowledge and its practical application in oral hygiene.

    Summary:

    • A stomatological study involving 354 students revealed a considerable overestimation of their dental and oral hygiene and state.
    • Objective evaluations showed significant discrepancies when compared to students' self-assessments.
