People’s adherence for infection control is affected by their knowledge, attitudes, and practices towards COVID-۱۹. Considering that dental practice is one of the most dangerous professions in terms of exposure to the disease, this study examines the knowledge and attitudes of dentists regarding COVID-۱۹ in north of Iran.

Demographic characteristics, knowledge of participants about COVID-۱۹ and infection control measures and their attitudes were evaluated.
