The aim of this study was to assess the awareness about the transmission of blood borne diseases through needle stick injury in dental students. A cross-sectional study was carried out on 80 final year dental students (68 females and 12 males) at the Margalla Dental College, Rawalpindi in the year 2018.A structured, self-administered questionnaire was developed by the authors and distributed amongst dental students. For assessment of good and bad knowledge, 10 questions were asked. 40% (32) students of final year were found to be exposed to needle stick injury (NSI). The number of students who had received Hepatitis B vaccination was 71.25% (57). It is evident from the result of the study that educating students about prevention and management of needle stick injury is very important and all students should be vaccinated for Hepatitis B.
