Knowledge level of diagnostic procedures and risk factors for oral cancer among oral healthcare providers in Germany
Knowledge of localisation, signs, stage of diagnosis, and specific risk groups can be improved. These topics should thus be integral to the dental curriculum and addressed through structured continuing education programmes, as the study's results suggest that knowledge declines over time without continuing education.
