Abstract
A 22-question exit survey was administered on a voluntary basis to senior dental students at seven dental schools in order to evaluate perceptions regarding their knowledge and skills in oral cancer control. The questions encompassed prevention, role of tobacco, lesion recognition, diagnostic techniques, and patient management. The range of responses was broad between students as well as schools regarding didactic and clinical exposures, and confidence in abilities to manage oral cancer patients. Data from this survey showed a perceived lack of knowledge and skills among graduating dental students that may translate to a subsequent deficiency in incorporating optimal oral cancer control procedures in their practices.
