The purpose of this study was to identify knowledge awareness, and performance of dentist and dental staff regarding protection of patient¡¯s personal information. In addition, this research was conducted to highlight the importance of protection of patient¡¯s personal information and provide a guideline for establishing measures in this regard. A survey was conducted on 506 dentists or dental staff working in Seoul, Gyeonggi and Chungcheong provinces. The data was analyzed using t-test, one-way ANOVA, ¥ö2, Pearson¡¯s correlation coefficient, and Scheffe test, using the PASW Statistics ver. 18.0 program. We found that the participants¡¯ knowledge and perception of the protection of patient¡¯s personal information were relatively low compared to those of other professionals. Such knowledge and perception were especially and significantly low in dental hygienists. In addition, a high level of knowledge and awareness showed a positive correlation with the extent of performance. Therefore, it is important that dentists and dental staff are aware of issues regarding the protection of patients¡¯ personal information. For this purpose, educational and training programs on such issues appear essential.
