The score scale of each attitude question was determined between 0-3. The maximum score of attitude was 33 and the minimum score was 0 and the role of individual factors in connection with the rate of knowledge and attitude was studied and analyzed by using the Regression tests.
Of the numbers 400 dentists participating, 48/7 % were women and 51/3% were men ,and their age was (32/ 6±2/4)year. Based on the average of knowledge the score obtained from the research is (2/71±1/8), 88/5% had a weak knowledge, 11/5% had an average knowledge and therefore, unfortunately, they did not have a good knowledge.
