Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic, characterized by the emergence of variants like JN1, poses challenges in healthcare. Understanding awareness levels among dental professionals and patients about this variant is crucial for informed decision-making and safety in dental care settings. Methods: A cross-sectional survey involving 300 dental professionals and 500 patients assessed awareness, information sources, and perceived risks regarding the JN1 variant. Questionnaires were distributed electronically, gathering data on demographics, knowledge, and information sources. Results: Dental professionals exhibited higher awareness (78%) than patients (42%) regarding the JN1 variant. Professionals relied on scientific journals (55%), while patients favored social media (40%) for information. Concerns differed, emphasizing transmissibility (60%) for professionals and vaccine efficacy (45%) for patients. Conclusion: The study highlights a significant awareness gap between dental professionals and patients regarding the JN1 variant. Bridging this gap through targeted educational strategies is vital for informed decision-making and safety in dental care.
