Abstract |
Periodontal awareness and the impact of lifestyle on periodontal health among Chartered Accountants (CAs) in India is of interest. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 514 CAs aged 20 and above. An online survey evaluating demographics, oral hygiene knowledge and lifestyle was administered to the patients. Participants showed moderate awareness of periodontal health, while 62.84% recognized the link between oral and general health, over a third were unaware or unsure, highlighting the need for increased awareness. This study highlights a moderate level of periodontal awareness among Chartered Accountants in Ahmedabad. |
