Fear or anxiety towards dental procedures can discourage patients from getting dental treatment done. The management of anxious patients undergoing dental treatment is still a challenge in clinical practices. The increased use of sedative and hypnotics in dental practices appears to indicate that the assessment of dental student’s awareness of it, is essential. This survey is carried out to determine the awareness of sedatives and hypnotics used in dental practices among dental students. A questionnaire-based survey study was conducted among 100 undergraduate students at Saveetha Dental College and hospital. The study revealed 94% of the students are aware of the commonly used sedatives and hypnotics in dental practices.
