“…In the present cohort, the proportion of ever snuff users corresponds with the proportion of users in the general Norwegian population (20). The risk of total cancer in ever snuff users was similar to that of the general population, and no elevated risk for cancer forms previously related to snuff (21) was observed (not shown). In never snuff users, a significantly reduced risk of total cancer was observed.…”

“…Chewing tobacco can be classified as loose leaf (made from cigar leaf tobacco that is air-cured, sweetened, and loosely packed), plug (made from heavier grades of tobacco leaves harvested from the top of the plant, immersed in a mixture of licorice and sugar and pressed into a plug), or twist (aircured or fire-cured burley tobacco leaves, flavoured and twisted in form of a rope) (Hoffmann and Hecht, 1985). Snuff is a universal word for finely cut or powdered, flavoured tobacco, which can be prepared as moist snuff (air-cured and fire-cured tobacco, flavoured and powdered into fine particles, containing 20-55% moisture by weight) and dry snuff (fire-cured, fermented tobacco powder that may contain aroma and flavour additives) (Brunnemann and Hoffmann, 1992;Boffetta et al, 2008). Tobacco pastes or powders are also used orally and applied to the gums or teeth.…”

The incidence of oral cancer is rising in the Sudan. Detecting oral cancer at an early stage is the most effective means of improving survival and reducing morbidity from disease. Aim:The aim of the present study was to determine the knowledge, attitude and practice of dentists related to oral cancer prevention and early detection in public dental clinics in Khartoum State, Sudan. Materials and Methods:A cross-sectional survey using an administered structured questionnaire was carried out. The questionnaire consisted of 28 questions that included the key areas of oral cancer prevention and early detection. A sample of 130 dental practitioners was requested to participate in the study. Results:The response rate was 86.92%. The majority were female (68.1%) between the ages of 20 -40 years old. The majority were aware of the major risk factors and the most common presentations of oral cancer. About two thirds (63.7%) perceived that their knowledge on oral cancer was current. However, almost a third (35.4.6%) reported that they had sufficient knowledge concerning oral cancer prevention. More than half (54 percent) reported that they do not carry out any special examination to detect oral cancer in asymptomatic patients. Two thirds (66.3%) believed that their undergraduate training in the diagnosis of oral cancer was inadequate. The vast majority (95.6%) were interested in further oral cancer continuing education and 88.5% that development of referral guidelines can improve the quality of referrals to specialists. Conclusions:The findings of the present study indicate that there is a need for further training in the early detection and prevention of oral cancer, as well as an increased emphasis on oral cancer diagnosis and prevention in the dental training curriculum.3 Declaration I, the undersigned, hereby declare that the work contained in this dissertation is my original work and that it has not been previously in its entirety or in part submitted at any university for a degree.………………………………… …………………………
