    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2021-10-07) González Gonzáles, César Arturo; Girano Castaños, Jorge Alberto
    This study is descriptive, cross-sectional, and prospective. The sample consisted of 208 licensed, registered, and authorized dentists from the Lima Region Dental Association. Each professional filled out a virtual survey, previously validated, to assess the level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding infection control. Results: Upon evaluating the level of knowledge, it was found that 58.2% had medium knowledge, followed by 35.6% with low knowledge. Regarding attitudes toward infection control, 100% of the respondents reported having a high attitude level. In terms of infection control practices, 76% had a medium practice level, followed by 21.6% with a high practice level. No statistically significant association was found between the level of knowledge and practices (Pearson's Chi-square test; p>0.05), nor between the level of knowledge and attitudes, as the latter remained constant. Conclusion: There is no relationship between the level of knowledge and practices regarding infection control among dentists in their private clinical practice during the COVID-19 pandemic.
