A Cross‐Sectional Comparison of Oral Cancer Awareness Between First‐ and Fifth‐Year Dental Students: A Questionnaire Study
The findings demonstrate that dental education significantly enhances students' knowledge, clinical awareness, and diagnostic behavior regarding OC. However, the lower awareness among first-year students underscores the need to integrate OC-related content earlier in the curriculum. These results support the integration of structured and comprehensive OC education early in the dental curriculum to enhance screening and diagnostic behaviors.
