Statistical analysis: Data analysis was done using statistical package for social science (SPSS 12.0) software and Chi square test was used to find the statis tical significance among the variables. Results:The results of the study indicate that the final year undergraduate nursing students have adequate basic know ledge regarding the oral cavity and the diseases pertaining to it, but they lack knowledge regarding the ideal brushing method, specialties in dentistry and their role.
