Resumo: Prevention and control strategies for the COVID-19 pandemic include behavioral approaches and that identify potential intervention scenarios, such as the training process for health professionals. The aim of the present study was to analyze knowledge, attitudes and practices about COVID-19 and associated factors in dentistry students. This is a cross-sectional study with dentistry students from Higher Education Institutions in the state of Ceará, Brazil. 288 students regularly enrolled in Higher Education Institutions participated in the research. The sample showed a high frequency of adequacy of knowledge, attitudes and practices for the prevention of COVID-19. The relationship between the sociodemographic characteristics of the participants and their knowledge, attitudes and practices showed an association between the student's place of residence and distance from the nearest Basic Health Unit. Most students who live in both rural and urban areas have adequate practices regarding COVID-19, as well as most students who live near or far from the nearest Basic Health Unit also have knowledge, attitudes and practices appropriate. The low risk of infection observed in the studied sample, as well as the adequate level of knowledge, attitudes and practices considered adequate about COVID-19 do not exempt the need for continuous educational processes related to biosafety protocols.

El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas sobre la COVID-19 y factores asociados en estudiantes de odontología. Se trata de un estudio transversal con estudiantes de odontología matriculados regularmente en instituciones de enseñanza superior del estado de Ceará. Participaron en la encuesta 288 estudiantes. Se observó una alta frecuencia de adecuación de conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas para la prevención de la COVID-19. La relación entre las características sociodemográficas de los participantes y los conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas mostró asociación con el lugar de residencia del estudiante y la distancia a la Unidad Básica de Salud (UBS) más cercana. La mayor parte de los estudiantes que viven tanto en zonas rurales como urbanas tienen prácticas adecuadas frente al COVID-19, así como la mayoría de los estudiantes que viven cerca o lejos de la UBS más cercana también tienen conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas adecuadas. El bajo riesgo de contagio observado en la muestra estudiada, así como el adecuado nivel de conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas consideradas adecuadas frente al COVID-19 no eximen la necesidad de procesos de educación continua relacionados con los protocolos de bioseguridad.Estratégias de prevenção e controle da pandemia de COVID-19 incluem abordagens comportamentais e que identifiquem cenários potenciais de intervenção, como o processo formativo de profissionais da saúde.
