This was a questionnaire-based cross-sectional type of study comprising 100 dental college students in Chennai. A self-designed questionnaire contains 10 questions based on the knowledge and awareness of intraoral photography among dental college students. Questionnaires were circulated through an online website survey planet.After the responses were received from 100 participants, data was collected and analysed.76% of dental graduates stated the intraoral photographs were taken in automatic mode, and only 24% of dental graduates set the camera in manual mode to capture the intraoral image. 97% of dental graduates use the grey card as a contrast to the subject taken, 98% of dental graduates are unaware about the use of white balance in camera settings, and 1% of dental graduates are only aware of the 18% grey card and the use of the gray card to pre-set the white balance. 100% of the people recommend the intraoral photography courses included in the dental course. 33% of the graduates have attended the photography courses to learn the technique to capture the intraoral photographs.The awareness of intraoral photography among dental students is moderately adequate.
