Enhancing Oral Cancer Prevention Engagement Among Dental Professionals in Saudi Arabia

Posted: December 4, 2024
A recent study in Saudi Arabia identified factors influencing engagement in oral cancer prevention activities among dental students and professionals. The research highlighted a gap between knowledge and practice regarding oral cancer prevention, with awareness levels being high but not consistently leading to favorable attitudes or effective practices. Key findings included the significant impact of good knowledge, practice, and favorable attitudes on participation in prevention activities. Professionals in clinical and administrative roles were less likely to participate compared to dental students. The study emphasized the need for enhanced education and training in oral cancer prevention for dental health providers in Saudi Arabia to improve early detection and management of oral cancer, ultimately reducing morbidity and mortality rates in the region.
