Abstract

Introduction: Fissure sealant is one of the most important and effective preventing techniques. Having proper information and guidelines is the most important factors for the success of treatment. Therefore, in this study, the knowledge, attitude and Practice of general Dentists about fissure sealant in Yazd in 2017 were evaluated. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted by a questionnaire in which 140 general Dentists were investigated in Yazd. The questionnaire consisted of demographic information, 9 questions about awareness of the issue of Fissure sealant, 4 questions about people's attitude and 7 questions about their Practice. After gathering the data, they were analyzed by SPSS 20 version 18 software and ANOVA test. Results: The results of the study showed that the majority of General Dentists had a good knowledge (85. 72%), their attitude level (77. 14%) and performance (85%) were moderate. There was a significant difference in knowledge (P-value = 0. 004) and Practice (P-value = 0. 000) levels in age group and work experience, but there was no significant difference in attitude level (P-value = 0. 980). Conclusion: According to the results, the knowledge of Dentists in Yazd seems to be good in most cases, but their Attitudes and Practice are moderate and in some cases poor, despite having good knowledge, the results indicate that they are not up to date with new information and resources. This indicates the need to train new resources in retraining courses with emphasis on functional weaknesses and Dentists' awareness.
