Item Conocimiento de los estudiantes del programa de tecnología en mecánica dental, sobre el manejo de residuos sólidos(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2025) Meléndez Ojeda, Narly Dayana; Zuluaga Rayo, Liseth; Rosales Basto, Alejandra (Directora)Proper management of solid waste in dental laboratories is essential to minimize its environmental impact and protect public health. This study evaluates the level of knowledge that students in the Dental Mechanics Technology program at Universidad Santiago de Cali have regarding the classification and organization of this waste. A descriptive study with a qualitative approach was conducted, using surveys designed for students in the fourth, fifth, and sixth semesters. The results indicate that, although students have a basic understanding of the waste generated in the laboratory, there is significant lack of knowledge regarding the regulations and appropriate procedures for its management and final disposal. Based on these findings, it is recommended to strengthen academic training in environmental and health regulations, implement practical training sessions, and develop an instructional manual to improve waste management in dental laboratories.
