Within the framework of modern medical education, preventive measures and maintaining optimal oral health occupy a key place. This issue remains relevant among medical university students in the context of training qualified medical professionals. The goal of this study is the attitudes of students from various faculties of the Voronezh State Medical University named after N.N. Burdenko towards individual oral hygiene. Materials and Methods. The study included a survey of 225 students from the medical, pediatric, preventive medicine faculties, and students from the Institute of Dentistry of VSMU named after N.N. Burdenko on a range of issues: from the frequency of dental visits to preferences in toothpastes and teeth whitening methods. Results. Most students adhere to the recommendation to brush their teeth twice a day. However, the use of additional means, such as dental floss and mouthwashes, is not as widespread. There are differences among faculties in the frequency of dental visits, with the highest regularity observed among students of the dental faculty. Teeth whitening products are not popular, indicating a preference for natural care. Preferences in toothpaste vary, but most students choose pastes with whitening effects or for sensitive teeth, emphasizing the importance of specialized care. Conclusions. Thus, the study results reflect not only the current state of hygiene habits among medical university students but also their readiness to take responsibility for their own health, which is an important aspect of their future professional activity.</p>medical university studentsoral hygienedental caredental flosstoothpastesстуденты медицинского университетагигиена полости ртауход за зубамизубная нитьзубные пасты1.Журбенко, В.
