An online questionnaire from Khader et al. study about Awareness of the incubation period, the symptoms of the disease, mode of transmission of COVID-19, infection control measures for preventing COVID-19; and their Attitude toward treating patients with COVID-19 was applied. Data were analyzed by SPSS ver. 26, t-test and ANOVA. The significance level was set as P-Value≤ 0. 05. Results: Dental students were aged 21 to 36 years (mean 23. 89 years, SD 2. 73 years). A total of 90 (81. 1%) dental students had received training in infection control in dentistry, and 3 (2. 7%) had attended training or lectures regarding COVID-19. The mean scores for Awareness and Attitude-Perception were 33. 55± 4. 19 and 6. 23± 1. 61, respectively. There were no significant differences in the level of Awareness and Attitude-Perception between genders and different academic years.
