Aim: To assess the precise knowledge and awareness of the Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) among post graduate and undergraduate dental students. Materials and Methods: The data in questionnaire were obtained through the completely filled 200 google forms which includes undergraduate and postgraduate dental students. The obtained data was analysed category wise. Results: A definite gap exists between undergraduate students and postgraduates in awareness, knowledge and handling capacity. Postgraduate has better knowledge on interpretation than undergraduates. The right CBCT education should be given to dental students, backed by real-world experience and the advice of oral and maxillofacial radiologists. Conclusion: To guarantee greater understanding among dentists, further efforts should be made to raise awareness of this imaging modality. These efforts could include adding CBCT to the BDS curriculum and holding lectures or Continuing Dental Education (CDE) sessions.
