Abstract

Instruction in self-examination for early signs of orofacial cancer was given to over 450 persons attending a large county fair in western New York State. Participants received one-on-one instruction from dentists or specially trained dental hygienists according to a protocol designed to detect abnormalities of the oral cavity, cervical lymph nodes, and major salivary glands, as well as facial skin cancers. This method of personal instruction was judged feasible for large-scale application.
