Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the knowledge and awareness of dental students and interns in Saudi Arabia about human papillomavirus (HPV) and oral cancer through a web-based survey of 451 participants.
- Results showed that dental interns had significantly better knowledge than undergraduate dental students in identifying oral cancer locations and symptoms, as well as understanding HPV's connection to AIDS and common warts.
- The study concluded that while overall knowledge about HPV and oral cancer is present, it is not optimal, highlighting the need for improved educational programs and training for dental students in Saudi Arabia.
