Aim:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate dentists' attitudes and level of knowledge about dental stem cells.
Material And Methods:
Five hundred dentists from Tamil Nadu, India, took part in a cross-sectional descriptive questionnaire-based survey that assessed knowledge, attitudes, and practices. For statistical analysis, percentages of the total and Pearson's Chi-square test were employed.
Results:
Dental stem cells were considerably more familiar to participants with over 10 years of work experience. Of them, 93.2% are aware of the several uses for dental stem cells. A statistical test revealed a substantial relationship between the dental professionals' academic qualifications and the sources of information, dental stem cells, and the clinical applications.
Conclusion:
The results of this current study demonstrated that dental professionals had an acceptable level of understanding, but there is still a need to raise awareness of the latest developments in dental stem cell applications, banking, storage, and guidelines.
