There\u00a0is significant increase in the number of cases that too in non-endemic countries with more than 18000 cases reported\u00a0worldwide.&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Objective.&lt;\/strong&gt; The present study was conducted to assess knowledge and awareness regarding monkeypox among dental\u00a0professionals.&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials and Method.&lt;\/strong&gt; The present cross-sectional study among 410 subjects who were residing in a northern state of\u00a0the country. Informed consent was obtained from all the subjects. Study sample was selected on the basis of Systematic\u00a0random sampling methodology. A self-designed close-ended questionnaire written in English and verified by experts was\u00a0utilized for the study. The questionnaire was delivered personally to study subjects to collect the required information.&lt;br \/&gt;Chi-square test and ANOVA were used for statistical analysis.&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results.&lt;\/strong&gt; One-fourth (24.8%) of the subjects never heard about monkeypox disease. Negative response was given by 44.8%\u00a0of subjects regarding resemblance of monkeypox with small pox. Only 31.2% of subjects had knowledge regarding oral\u00a0manifestations of the disease. High knowledge scores were reported by only 28% of subjects. Higher knowledge levels\u00a0were significantly related to education level and working profile of study subjects. Online media (Internet) was preferred\u00a0as the main source to obtain more information by 42.2 of subjects.&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion.&lt;\/strong&gt; There was low level of knowledge regarding monkeypox among study subjects. There is an urgent need for\u00a0dental professionals to keep themselves updated with recent knowledge on new emerging infectious diseases.&lt;\/p&gt;<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.32394\/rpzh.2022.0226","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,28]],"date-time":"2022-09-28T08:39:15Z","timestamp":1664354355000},"page":"365-371","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Identifying monkeypox: do dental professionals have adequate knowledge and awareness?"],"prefix":"10.32394","volume":"73","author":[{"given":"Ambreen","family":"Kaur","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Richa","family":"Goel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ravinder","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arvind","family":"Bhardwaj","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Raj","family":"Kumari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ramandeep Singh","family":"Gambhir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"17323","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,30]]},"container-title":["Roczniki Pa\u0144stwowego Zak\u0142adu Higieny"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/roczniki.pzh.gov.pl\/pdf-182732-103228","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/roczniki.pzh.gov.pl\/pdf-182732-103228","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,15]],"date-time":"2026-01-15T10:59:55Z","timestamp":1768474795000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/roczniki.pzh.gov.pl\/Identifying-monkeypox-do-dental-professionals-have-adequate-knowledge-and-awareness,182732,0,2.html"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,30]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2022]]}},"alternative-id":["182732"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.32394\/rpzh.2022.0226","relation":{},"ISSN":["0035-7715","2451-2311"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0035-7715","type":"print"},{"value":"2451-2311","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,30]]}}}
