Introduction: Growing awareness of aesthetics has led to an increase in interest in hair restoration surgery. The area of practice and skill of dental professionals in carrying out such operations, however, continue to be unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate dental and medical professionals' attitudes and knowledge regarding hair restoration procedures carried out by dentists.

Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was administered to Coimbatore's medical and dental practitioners, interns, and students. A self-administered, validated questionnaire was sent out via electronic means. Chi-square tests and descriptive statistics were used to evaluate the data in order to compare responses between groups, with a significance level of p < 0.05.

Results: Participants in the medical and dentistry fields showed significantly different levels of understanding, perceptions of regulating agencies, and attitudes toward dentists who do hair restoration procedures. Advanced training or certification is crucial, according to the majority of both groups. Participants in the dental program expressed more approval of dentists who had received the necessary training to carry out such procedures. The primary difficulties that were brought to light were patient safety, legal concerns, and a lack of training.

Discussion: The results show a moderate awareness of professional rules and regulations, although there are significant knowledge gaps. Although multidisciplinary work is becoming more widely accepted, issues with ethics and training are still major considerations. The findings are consistent with other research highlighting the significance of organized instruction and precise definitions of scope-of-practice.

Conclusion: Significant gaps in knowledge and regulatory comprehension still exist, despite the increased support for dentists who conduct hair restoration procedures with the appropriate training. To guarantee safe and moral practice, education, certification, and regulations must be strengthened.
