Objective: To asses and evaluate the Knowledge attitude and awareness on Bruxism and its Prosthodontic Management among undergraduate dental Students. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study using a modified version of self-administered questionnaire was formulated and the questionnaire was pretested for validation The distribution was personally done through the web designed program among the final year undergraduates and residential interns. A total of 100 validated entries were collected. Data were entered into Microsoft Excel 2007 and analysed in SPSS V20. Associations between categorical variables were determined using Chi-square or Fisher's exact test. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Result: Majority of students reported the correct answers. While statistically significant differences were noted between the knowledge of interns and final year students about questions related to General information about Bruxism and Effects of bruxism on prosthetic management and its treatment. Mean score of awareness among interns was higher than among final years (19.14±3.25 vs. 17.44±3.10) (p=0.003), thus it showed good awareness on bruxism and its management.
