Research in the Esthetic Dentistry seeks to meet the demands of the clinicians, who desire restorative materials with easier handling characteristics and superior physical, mechanical and esthetical properties. However, it is known that achieving all these characteristics in one material constitutes a difficult task. It is important to know about the wear resistance properties of various composite resins. Thus the aim of this study is to evaluate the awareness among dental students about the wear resistance of composite resins used in daily practice. This survey is conducted among dental students. A self administered questionnaire was made and circulated among the participants. The sample size was 150 and the questionnaire was circulated through online means. The data was obtained and the results were tabulated using excel and statistical analysis was done using SPSS software. From this study, all three groups of students have moderate knowledge about wear resistance of the composite than third years and final years. It is important to create awareness about the same because the wear resistance of the composite is important since composites that are worn away due to brushing act as a region which accumulates plaque and further causes damage. Thus if students are educated more about the properties of materials this will help them to choose the materials properly while they practice.
