“…In the study of Srivastava et al, 100% of students reported feeling well informed about the clinical appearance of oral cancer. However, 69.7% of the same students reported insufficient knowledge about the prevention and detection of oral cancer [ 20 ]. This discrepancy between existing theoretical knowledge and practical applications might be reduced by using a structured questionnaire.…”

Structured examination and treatment are essential in medicine. For dental students, a structured approach to the assessment of oral mucosal lesions is missing thus far. To validate an approach, a structured questionnaire was compared with the habitually used free description of oral lesions (white lesions, ulcers, hyperplasia). Thirty-three dental students were divided into two groups (Group 1 (n = 17) used the free description; Group 2 (n = 16) used a guided questionnaire) to characterize mucosal lesions in patients and make a tentative diagnosis. Although no difference was found between the groups regarding the suspected diagnosis or the histopathological findings, there was a significant advantage of the structured questionnaire in all aspects of the description compared to the free description (p = 0.000018). Thus, a structured description is an important aspect in the evaluation of oral mucosal changes, and a guided questionnaire should be implemented in the study of dentistry.

“…An appropriate and standardized concept regarding the assessment of the oral mucosa is missing in undergraduate dental curricula. This leads to uncertainty among students [ 18 , 19 , 20 ]. In particular, potentially malignant disorders are often misjudged [ 18 , 21 ].…”

IntroductionThe dentist should be able to carry out systematic oral examinations of the mucosa of patients in order to diagnose any alterations at an early stage.Materials and MethodsAn observational, analytical, prospective, and longitudinal study was carried out. 161 students were evaluated at the beginning of their clinical practice in their 4th year of dental school (September 2019), at the beginning and at the end of their 5th year of dental school (June 2021). Thirty oral lesions were projected, and the students were asked to provide an answer; if the lesions were benign, malignant, or potentially malignant, whether they should be biopsied and/or treated and a presumptive diagnosis.ResultsSignificant improvement (p < .001) was obtained between the 2019 and 2021 results, in relation to the classification, need for biopsy and treatment of lesions. For differential diagnosis, no significant difference (p = .985) was obtained between the 2019 and 2021 responses. Malignant lesions and PMD obtained mixed results, with the best results corresponding to OSCC.DiscussionIn this study, a correct lesion classification by the students was over 50%. As for the OSCC, the results were superior to the rest of the images, reaching more than 95% correct.ConclusionTheoretical‐practical training from universities and continuing education for graduates in relation to oral mucosal pathologies should be further promoted.

“…In addition to the rigorous training, dental undergraduates are expected to learn specific psychomotor skills required in dentistry. Gender, an intense academic curriculum, the pressure to complete a certain number of clinical cases in a limited amount of time, examinations and grades, fear of academic failure, and uncertain job employment have all been linked to stress among dental students [15][16][17] . Babar et al (2015) 18 confirmed these factors when they investigated perceived stressors among Malaysian dental students.…”

Objective:The purpose of this study was to look into the associations between lifestyle factors, gender, clinical level, and sleep quality among undergraduate dental students at a private university in Malaysia. Material and Methods: A self-administered Pittsburg sleep quality index (PSQI) scale and the lifestyle and habits questionnaire-brief (LHQ-B) were used in this cross-sectional study. A global PSQI score of greater than 5 indicates poor sleep quality. All university dental students were invited to take part. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the data. Results: A total of 338 students took part in the study, with a response rate of 90.4%. The proportion of females was higher (68.3 %) and more than half of the respondents (56.7 %) were in their clinical years. The prevalence of poor sleep quality was 36.7%. At multivariable level, poor sleep quality was associated with being male (OR=1.72 [95% confidence interval (1.05, 2.83)] and engaging in an unhealthy lifestyle for psychological health (OR=2.64 [95% confidence interval (1.34, 5.21)] and nutrition (OR=2.48 [95% confidence interval (1.028, 4.82)]. Conclusion: The prevalence of poor sleep quality among undergraduate dental students in our study was comparable to that found in other studies. Male students were more likely to have poor sleep quality than female students. Our findings indicate that poor sleep quality (PSQI score >5) may be linked to unhealthy lifestyle habits related to psychological health and nutrition. Health education that emphasizes these domains is essential for improving their lifestyle habits and sleep quality.
