Abstract
Aim: To Systematically evaluate the perception of dental nutritional knowledge among dental ‎undergraduate students in Pune
Materials and Methods: A questionnaire-based study was conducted in the department to ‎assess dental nutritional knowledge among dental interns during their subsequent visit to dental ‎clinics. Hundred registered dental interns participated in this study. They were then provided ‎with pretested questionnaire consisting of fifteen questions with multiple options. The ‎responses marked were then obtained systematically and analyzed accordingly.‎
Results: The obtained figures definitely suggests that a majority of dental interns were aware ‎of the basic knowledge about nourishment and diet, however their resultant values suggest that ‎the dental interns required more advancements and were willing to uptake more educational ‎awareness programs on importance of diet and nutrition and its influence on dental health.‎
Conclusion: The dental graduates have to be provided with more impactful programs which would ‎provide awareness on dental nutritional knowledge
