| description | Information from the user of ethnomedicine is required as the baseline data for further research and to conserve local
medicine. To identify the association between knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of ethnomedicine in
common oral and dental diseases. A cross-sectional descriptive and analytical study was conducted on patients
attending IIUM dental clinic within three months. A total of 87 participants aged 18 and above were conveniently
selected to answer quantitative questionnaires. The relationship between knowledge, attitude and practice scores was
analysed using Spearman correlation coefficient. The participants were Malay, Chinese, Indian and Others with
frequency of 49 (56.3%), 28 (32.2%), 4 (4.6%) and 6 (6.9%), respectively. They were 41.4% male and 58.6%
female. 97.7% were educated. The participants were knowledgeable in common oral diseases (96.6%). Knowledge
of ethnomedicine was correlated with attitude (rho=0.283, p=0.008) and practice (rho=0.251, p= 0.019), while
attitude was correlated with practice (rho=0.436, p=0.000). There was a clear pattern of using ethnomedicine to treat
oral and dental diseases with significant correlation between KAP. Therefore, further studies on the efficiency and
efficacy of the findings described in this study is highly advisable.
