Abstract
This research aimed to determine the level of knowledge on radiological prevention in students and tutors that participated in practical training of clinics in the dentistry school of Universidad Nacional de Chimborazo. The study was observational, descriptive, and cross-sectional. The population was made up of 169 students and 19 tutors from that teaching environment. A sample of 118 students and 17 teachers was established based on an intentional non-probability sampling. The applied techniques were observation and measurement, a knowledge test on radiological prevention was designed, through a construct and made up of 10 questions, which showed a Cronbach's alpha of 0.81. Among the students who participated in the study, the majority presented a level of knowledge of radiological prevention cataloged as Not acceptable (62.7%), while among the teachers it was acceptable (60%). In relation to compliance with radiological protection measures, the best results were observed in clinics III and IV, with typical values of 0.43 and 0.40, respectively. There were significant differences between compliance with radiological protection measures and the knowledge shown through the applied test.
