Abstract:
Background: Oral cancer is among the top three types of cancers in India. Severe alcoholism, use of tobacco in the form of cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, and betel nut chewing are the most common risk factors for oral cancer. Often individuals with pre cancer even notice the alterations, such as reduced mouth opening in oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF), but they are not aware about the causes and consequences of these changes. Awareness about causes and features of oral cancers can be very helpful in prevention, control and early diagnosis of oral cancer.Methods: A cross-sectional study was carr

Introduction: The accelerated growth of oral cancer is a constant and alarming concern for global health. Reports about oral cavity cancer, around 0.37 million new reports and 0.17 million deaths were recorded. Most oral cancers are preceded by oral potentially malignant disorder or disorders (OPMD), with a general prevalence of 4.47%. General dentists play a critical role in the detection of oral malignant lesions and OPMD. However, many dentists fail to evaluate and diagnose these injuries.

Background: Oral cancers (OC) are malignant lesions occurring in the oral cavity that include squamous cell carcinomas (SCC), salivary gland and odontogenic neoplasms. Even though it is the eighth most common malignancy globally but in Pakistan it is the second commonest type of cancer. Lack of awareness about ill-effects of preventable risk factors of oral cancer increases the burden of disease due to the associated high cost of treatment, permanent impairment and high mortality. Hence, awareness can be very helpful in prevention, control and early diagnosis of oral cancer.Methods: A cross-se
