dc.description.abstractAny antibiotic has it’s own use and side effects , the misuse of antibiotics may effect the health of patients Antibiotics play a crucial role in managing dental infections; however, inappropriate use can lead to antibiotic resistance, a significant public health concern. Dental professionals are stewards of antibiotic use, and their knowledge and attitudes regarding antibiotic therapy influence prescribing practices. Objective: The primary objective of this study is to assess the knowledge and attitude about Antibiotic uses and side effects among dental students at Napata College. Method Cross sectional: study faculty base, in Clinical dental students a in Napata collage in Sudan Study will be done in 55 dental students (all of them from 5th year) The date was collected using self-administered questionnaire, data was analyzed with aid of SPSS V 22 Result: The data reveals a population of 53, predominantly young adults (55% aged 18-25), dealing primarily with viral infections (53%) and preventive dental care (38%). Amoxicillin is the most common antibiotic (74%), though antifungal Clotrimazole is also prevalent (77%). Respondents demonstrate strong awareness of antibiotic resistance risks, but 91% admit to self-medicating. While 96% take medical history before prescribing, concerning practices like weekly antibiotic prescriptions (43%) persist. Conclusion: The study shows that dental students, while knowledgeable about the importance of proper antibiotic use and antibiotic resistance, may benefit from further education on the detailed mechanisms of antibiotic resistance. This finding highlights a potential gap in their understanding despite an overall good knowledge base.
