Discussion

Cross-sectional study assessed dental students' knowledge on oral cancer risk factors and screening, highlighting critical education gaps.

Only 28.1% of dental students accurately identified the OPMD with the highest malignant transformation rate, revealing significant knowledge gaps.
Awareness of regular oral cancer screenings among students was low at only 16.5%, indicating a critical need for better education.
Female students showed greater awareness of screening importance, while first-time students had better knowledge of diagnostic tools.
The findings underscore the requirement for enhanced educational programs to improve dental students' understanding of oral cancer and OPMDs.

Rageh et al. (2025) studied this question.
