Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine factors that influence the diagnostic ability of dental students with regards to oral cancer and oral potentially malignant disorders. Dental students at different levels of study were directly interviewed to examine their oral cancer knowledge and diagnostic ability using a validated and pre-tested survey instrument containing validated clinical images of oral cancer and oral potentially malignant disorders. An oral cancer knowledge scale (0 to 31) was generated from co… Show more

“…The present data also demonstrated the importance of the perception of learning as adequate during dental undergraduate coursework, since 83.3% considered their practical training in oral medicine/oral pathology insufficient. It must be recognised that the curriculum in oral medicine is not standardised worldwide, raising the need for debate to define how many hours would be necessary to address those topics in terms of theoretical lectures and practical training 33,34 . Some studies have shown that most dentists consider the time dedicated to practical training insufficient 10,26,29,30,34,35 .…”

Some studies have shown that most dentists consider the time dedicated to practical training insufficient 10,26,29,30,34,35 . In this sense, Boroumand et al 36 showed that after contact with topics related to oral cancer in undergraduate course, dental students’ knowledge waned at the end of the course.…”

“…In addition, more than one-third of the participants in the clinical group failed to identify the frequent early lesions of oral cancer including the hard painless masses and mixed red-white lesions “erytholeukoplastic lesions” which might lead to delay in diagnosis that is associated with less-favourable outcome [45]. For the risk factors of oral cancer, the clinical group showed better results compared to the previous studies that were conducted in Jordan both among dental students and recently graduated medical and dental professionals [29, 30]. This might be related to intervention measures including improved dental education in light of the previous results of studies conducted in Jordan and globally.…”

“…Earlier studies from Jordan aimed to assess general knowledge of oral cancer of the dental students, recently graduated medical and dental professionals, and among the patients [10, 29, 30]. However, no previous reports have been found in Jordan that assessed knowledge of HPV-related oral cancer among dental students.…”
