Purpose: To determine the level of knowledge about Sports Dentistry in contact sports athletes. Materials and Methods: This is an observational, descriptive, and cross-sectional study, where a total of 112 athletes from Karate, Wushu, Judo and Taekwondo teams from a private university were surveyed. This assessment included the application of a survey to determine their knowledge about Sports Dentistry, establishing the levels of knowledge as "Very Good" when 75% of questions were answered correctly, "Good" between 50% and 75%, "Regular" between 25% and 50%, and "Poor" below 25%. Other information of the participants such as practice frequency, particular sport, age, gender, and socioeconomic level was recorded and assessed with the APEIN questionnaire. Descriptive statistics was employed for data analysis, obtaining the mean and frequency of the categorical variables, while for the numerical variable age, the mean and standard deviation were calculated. Results: The level of knowledge about contact sports athletes was Regular (51.79%), Good (39.29%), Very Good (7.14%), and Poor (l .79%). The most represented sport in this study was Taekwondo With 34.82%, and the most predominant gender was male with 55.36%, Conclusions: It is concluded that the level of knowledge about sports dentistry in athletes that practice contact sports at a Peruvian private university is regular. From this group of athletes, 32.14% did not know about Sports Dentistry, 83.93% did not know when they should go to the dentist for a checkup, and 81.25% were in the dark about what to do in case of a dental avulsion during sports practice.
