Overall, 45. 4% of the students, had high Knowledge and 51. 3% had positive Attitude towards preventive oral and dental care. In multivariate logistic regression model, there was a significant relationship between being male and lower level of Knowledge, and there was a significant relationship between being female and studying Dentistry with positive Attitude. The Possibility of regular use of dental floss was more reported among female students and students with high Knowledge. Also, high Knowledge had significant association with dental check-up in recent past year. Conclusion: The results of this study indicated that the status of Knowledge, Attitudes, and self-care Performance of students about preventive oral and dental care, is at average level, and therefore, designing coherent programs for improving these variables, is necessary to promote personal and professional Performance in preventive oral and dental care.
