There have been relatively few investigations regarding dental awareness and attitudes among medical practitioners. Aim To assess the dental awareness and attitudes of medical practitioners in Chennai. Methodology A cross sectional study was conducted using a structured questionnaire on 300 medical practitioners randomly selected. Results 85 % of undergraduates, 71 % of postgraduates, 80 % of diploma holders advised patients to visit dentist at least once in six months (P<0.05). 75 % of undergraduates, 85 % of postgraduates and 94 % of diploma holders knew that periodontal disease is a risk factor for infective endocarditis (P<0.05). 80 % of undergraduates, 77 % of postgraduates and 48 % of diploma holders were aware of systemic complications due to untreated dental diseases (P<0.01). Conclusion Dental awareness and attitudes was found to be good among medical practitioners in Chennai.
