Materials and Methods: In this analytical observational study, a questionnaire was designed to assess knowledge about pulp and periapical lesions in three areas of theoretical knowledge, knowledge in diagnosis and knowledge in treatment in the second semester of the academic year 2021 and designed by 400 dental students were completed as representatives from 15 cities in Iran. Data analysis was performed by Friedman, Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests (α = 0.05).
Results: Percentage of correct answer of dental students to the questions related to theoretical knowledge 65.70 ± 18.39, percentage of correct answer to the questions of students' diagnostic knowledge 50.75 ± 33.28, percentage of correct answer to the questions of treatment knowledge 52.13 ± 23.93 and the percentage of correct answers to the questions of knowledge in total was 56.68 ± 16.35, which is statistically significant in the amount of knowledge in the three areas studied (p value < 0.001).
Conclusion: In the present study, it was shown that the highest level of appropriate knowledge in students is in the field of theoretical knowledge of endodontic-periodontal lesions and the lowest level of appropriate knowledge in the field of diagnosis of these diseases.
