Exploring confidence in recognizing oral cancer among dentists and dental students
This study highlights the correlations between diagnostic accuracy and confidence of dentists and dental students in identifying oral cancer, which is crucial for timely referral and improved patient outcomes. By identifying gaps in diagnostic confidence and potential cognitive biases, the findings can inform targeted educational interventions for reliable oral cancer screening in general dental practice.
