Author(s): Nagaraja Naik M & Dr. Lokesha Naik
Abstract - A well-structured questionnaire was distributed among the 90 faculty and students of the five Dental colleges in the Bangalore city. Out of which 80 questionnaires were received back duly exactly filled in. The response rate was 72%. The study stated that the level of faculty and student’s access to the internet was low and the major reason was that at the time of the study, computers with internet facilities were inadequate. The major findings also stated that the rate of internet use was more among the faculty and students of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department (OMSD) and Conservative Dentistry Department faculty as compared to the faculty of Oral Medicine and Radiology Department. (OMRD). However, the majorities of the students expressed their interest in the use of internet and its resources and were enthusiastic in improving their skills in the use of the internet. The study again recommends the provision of more computers with internet facilities, better access speed, and providing more orientation/training programs in the use of internet in these institutions.
