KAP survey on dental waste management among dentists: A questionnaire based study
Dental waste can be hazardous to humans and the environment. Care should be taken while disposing of clinical waste in order to protect and maintain the environment from contamination and ensure safety of those who come in contact with it. Aim of the study is to determine the awareness on knowledge, attitude and practice among dentists on dental waste management. A questionnaire-based survey was conducted.203 questionnaires were distributed to dentists in and around Saveetha Dental College, Chennai. Data was collected and were tabulated, statistically analysed using SPSS software. Based on the study, it was found that 95.1% of the dentists knew protocol for waste management. However, only 55.2% sent amalgam waste to recycler, and 62.6% of the dentists rinse amalgam containing traps or containers in the sink.Based on the study we can conclude that though majority of the dentists were aware of waste management protocol and however almost half the number of dentists did not practice proper disposal of amalgam waste.
