A Comparative Study of Perception, Knowledge and Attitudes Toward Patient Safety Among Dental Residents With and Without Infection Control and Patient Safety Training

The Infection Control and Patient Safety course positively influenced residents' understanding and attitudes toward patient safety, highlighting the importance of formal education. These findings suggest that integrating patient safety training into dental curricula, particularly at the undergraduate level, could significantly improve the quality of dental care. Further studies with expanded and more diverse populations are recommended to validate these results and explore broader implications.
