The objective of this study was to evaluate the knowledge of dentistry students about the topic of hepatitis B and to verify their vaccination coverage against the virus. This is a descriptive cross-sectional quantitative study. A total of 71 academics from the 5th grade School of Dentistry of Araçatuba (FOA) - SP, Brazil, participated in the study in the year 2016. The collection instrument used was a semi-structured questionnaire that dealt with hepatitis B and its immunization. It was approved by the research ethics committee of the Faculty of Dentistry of Araçatuba (Process nº 632.067) and for the statistical analysis the software Epi Info 7.1 was used. Of the total number of respondents, 67% were female. When questioned about the knowledge of the disease, 88.73% affirmed the question, and of this total percentage, 92.06% obtained information within the classroom. When inquiring about the cause of hepatitis B, 7.05% of the students did not answer or did not answer the question. Regarding the number of doses of the vaccine against HBV, 16.90% of the students missed the question and 60.57% of the students did not know about the Anti-HBs test. Of the interviewees, 95.77% took the vaccine, and 60.29% took all three doses of the vaccine. Regarding the Anti-Hbs test, 56.34% of the students in the study were immunized. It is concluded that the knowledge of the academics on the topic hepatitis B still presents a fault, requiring discussion and resumption of content in the clinical disciplines. In addition, there was a worrying percentage, with almost half of non-immunized dentists being immunized against hepatitis B virus
