摘要：Background: One of the most debated issues among the parameters used for selecting dental students is basic manual skills. Manual skills form only a part of capabilities of future dentists, but it is a very important component. This research was based on the online survey that was conducted among dental students to know about their perception of handwriting skills. An online survey was conducted with a self structured questionnaire comprising 13 questions.The questionnaire was designed using the online survey platform google forms and the link was circulated through the social networking platforms to the participants. The results were analysed and with the collected responses a descriptive statistical test was performed using the statistical software “SPSS version 20” and the result was represented in the pie chart form. Handwriting skills are important for dentistry. But handwriting is important for case reports and academics so it is better that everyone understands. In the present study, the perception of handwriting skills among dental students was analysed among the dental students,79% perceive handwriting skills to be important in dentistry. Handwriting skills are important for not only dentists but for every doctor because everywhere the doctor's prescription is very difficult for the patient to understand and even for easy interpretation of the case history of the patient in between two doctors. Thus, most of the dental students are aware of their own handwriting skills.
