    Objective: The objective of this research was to describe the knowledge and practices about Cetylpyridinium Chloride in the prevention of COVID-19 among students at the Norbert Wiener University in 2021. A quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional study was conducted. A 15-item questionnaire based on current literature was designed, validated by expert judgment and a pilot study (Cronbach's Alpha of 0.813), demonstrating good reliability. The questionnaire was uploaded to the web 2.0 using a Google Form and shared virtually with students from the School of Dentistry. The sample consisted of 310 students who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The results showed that the knowledge level among the surveyed students was Low in 45.2%, Regular in 24.2%, and High in 20.6%. There was no statistically significant relationship between knowledge level and the variables age (p=0.445), gender (p=0.193), and year of studies (p=0.102). Regarding practices, most students indicated that they would prescribe mouth rinses with this compound before each dental procedure.
