Methods: The quantitative descriptive study design employed a 4-part questionnaire conducted online and participated on by UPCD senior clinicians from A.Y. 2020-2021 with 1-2 semesters of clinical experience. The survey tool gathered general information about the participants and questions with regards to their KAP on ICDAS. Results: Out of the 29 participants, 19 (66%) of them had one semester and 10 (34%) had two semesters of clinical experience. The overall mean score for knowledge was 76.1% and is considered ?adequate?, however 5 participants (17%) failed to reach the cut-off score of 70%. Based on the overall mean score, the participants were found to have ?positive? attitude, however 2 (7%) fell under the ?very negative? category. For the Practice component, the clinicians showed ?good practice?; no one fell under the ?poor? category. Conclusion: Generally, UPCD senior clinicians have shown adequate knowledge, positive attitude, and good practice on ICDAS. However, a small percentage of the participants scored lower in their KA scores. Despite having good results, there is still a need to have more clinical exposure, hands-on training, and periodic calibration to reinforce their skills in diagnosis using ICDAS.
