Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the knowledge overview of emergency and safety measures taken by Saudi Arabian dentists during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dentists have become frontline and high-risk workers in the global COVID-19 pandemic in recent years. This cross-sectional study used Google Forms to administer an online survey to dental professionals employed by Saudi Arabian government hospitals, commercial clinics, as well as universities. The data collected from 355 dentists (academicians, private practitioners, military, and government employees) were statistically evaluated, and the sample power was 0.85. The dental practitioners showed pertinent knowledge of the COVID-19 virus's symptoms and duration of incubation. Dental practitioners' perceptions and levels of preparedness appear to be of statistical significance and satisfactory. Advocacy for education can be used to enforce mandatory reforms.
