Objective: To determine the association between the level of knowledge, and attitude towards post exposure management of occupational accidents in the clinical practice of dental students at a university clinic in Lima - Peru. Materials and Methods: 156 dentistry students were evaluated. The students’ level of knowledge and attitude to post exposure management of occupational accidents were evaluated through an adapted survey of 24 questions. In addition, information on occupational accidents such as the type of exposure, involvement of sharp materials, and type of procedure was gathered via a self-reported questionnaire. Both surveys were reviewed and approved by subject matter experts. Absolute frequencies were calculated for the qualitative variables and central tendency measures (median) were calculated for quantitative variables. The Chi-Square test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to test for statistical significance in the association of variables. Results: 78,2% of the participants had a high knowledge of occupational accident management; and 72,4% demonstrated a positive attitude towards accident management. No statistically significant association (p> 0.05) was found between knowledge and attitude. 69,1% of the students suffered at least one occupational accident during their clinical practice and most involved sharp materials. The explorer was involved in 65,1% of exposures. Conclusions: No association was found between knowledge and attitude towards accident management. However, a great number of students have suffered from occupational accidents resulting in hazardous exposure, so a more effective education on prevention and management of occupational accidents is recommended.
