摘要：In excess of 700 types of microorganisms with 11 divisions have been distinguished in a human oral cavity. For a long time, anti-infection agents have been endorsed in various dental procedures. During endodontic treatment, anti-infection agents might be given foundationally or provincially [i.e., intra-dental use]. To evaluate the awareness on the use of antibiotics in endodontic treatment among college students . Materials and Methods: This is a cross sectional study conducted among college students. The questions were circulated to the age group within 18 to 20 years and circulated among 100 undergraduate dental students.The sampling method used in our study was simple random sampling .The study is approved by the scientific review board. A statistical test was done using the software SPSS version 21.0. Statistical tests used were descriptive analysis and frequency percentage. The association between groups was assessed by Chi Square test where p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: From the data analyzed ,most of participants 83% felt that infected root canal can be treated only with antibiotics 17% participants felt that infected root canal can't be treated with antibiotics. 70% students preferred metronidazole is the commonly prescribed antibiotic for endodontic pain 23% students preferred amoxicillin is the commonly prescribed antibiotic for endodontic pain 6% preferred amoxicillin + clavulanic acid is the commonly prescribed antibiotic for endodontic pain and 1% students preferred amoxicillin + metronidazole is the commonly prescribed antibiotic for endodontic pain.The association between year of study and response awareness about the commonly prescribed antibiotics for endodontic pain was statistically significant ( p =0.004) .The statistical associations between groups was assessed by Chi Square test where p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. All other associations performed were statistically not significant. Conclusion: The present study concludes that the awareness of use of antibiotics in endodontic treatment was optimum and reliable. The final year students are more aware about antibiotics in endodontic treatment than 3rd year students.
