Abstract
El objetivo del estudio fue determinar la relación entre el nivel de conocimiento y la actitud en salud bucal en estudiantes adolescentes de una institución educativa privada en Lima en 2025. La investigación se desarrolló bajo un enfoque correlacional, descriptivo y transversal, utilizando una encuesta con un total de 95 estudiantes.
Los resultados mostraron que el nivel de conocimiento en salud bucal fue mayoritariamente regular (41.1%), seguido de un nivel malo (32.6%) y un nivel bueno (26.3%).Asimismo, los estudiantes de mayor edad presentaron mejores niveles de conocimiento y una actitud más positiva en comparación con los más jóvenes. En conclusión, se identificó una relación moderada y significativa entre el nivel de conocimiento y la actitud en salud bucal en los estudiantes evaluados, con un coeficiente de correlación de Spearman de (ρ = 0.480, p = 0.000), lo que indica que un mayor conocimiento en salud bucal tiende a estar asociado con una actitud más favorable hacia su cuidado.

The research was conducted using a correlational, descriptive, and cross-sectional approach, using a survey with a total of 95 students. The results showed that the level of knowledge about oral health was mostly fair (41.1%), followed by poor (32.6%) and good (26.3%). Older students also had better levels of knowledge and a more positive attitude compared to younger students. In conclusion, a moderate and significant relationship was identified between the level of knowledge and attitude toward oral health in the students evaluated, with a Spearman correlation coefficient of (ρ = 0.480, p = 0.000), indicating that greater knowledge of oral health tends to be associated with a more favorable attitude toward its care.
