Among the patients, 313 (60.89%) of them were female, 309 (60.12%) resided in urban areas and 130 (25.29%) reported having severe periodontal disease. The mean scores of knowledge, attitudes and practices were 3.05\u202f\u00b1\u202f2.03 (possible range: 0\u20138), 18.71\u202f\u00b1\u202f3.64 (possible range: 6\u201330), and 14.85\u202f\u00b1\u202f3.63 (possible range: 5\u201325), respectively. The knowledge item with highest correctness rate was the link between periodontal disease and systemic health (60.70%), while the lowest correctness rate was seen for understanding disease classification (36.96%). Pearson\u2019s analysis revealed positive correlations between knowledge and attitude (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u202f=\u202f0.31, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u202f&amp;lt;\u202f0.001), knowledge and practices (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u202f=\u202f0.23, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u202f&amp;lt;\u202f0.001) attitudes, as well as attitudes and practices (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u202f=\u202f0.17, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u202f&amp;lt;\u202f0.001).
