Abstract Background and Objectives Familiarity with dental management to control bleeding in patients taking anticoagulant drugs is necessary. Purpose of this study was to investigate level of awareness of general dentists and final year dental students of Yazd about dental management for patients prone to unusual bleeding in 2023.
Materials and Methods This cross-sectional study selected 135 general dentists and final-year general dental students in Yazd using convenient sampling. Level of knowledge was evaluated using the questionnaire of Moshaverinia et al., which was valid and reliable. Data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis statistical tests of SPSS V.25 statistical software.
Results 50 of the general dentists were male (58.8%), 35 were female (41.2%), 28 of the students were male (56%), 22 were female (44%). Mean ages of general dentists and students were 29.20 ± 4.93 and 25.16 ± 1.63, respectively. Average knowledge score of dental students was 8.72 ± 2.67 (Range: 1-14), while that of general dentists was 8.20 ± 2.86 (Range:2-15). There was no statistically significant difference between average knowledge score of general dentists and variables such as age, gender, work experience and university. There was no statistically significant difference between average score of students' knowledge and variables of age, gender and academic semester. There was no statistically significant difference between the average knowledge score of general dentists and students. Conclusions The results showed general dentists and final-year dental students in Yazd had moderate knowledge of dental management for coagulopathic patients.
