Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the level of knowledge about oral cancer of third, fourth-and fifth-year students of dentistry at the Cientifica del Sur University in 2020. Materials and methods: A questionnaire on knowledge of oral cancer was carried out in 166 students in the third, fourth and fifth year of dentistry. This questionnaire consisted of 24 multiple-choice questions about epidemiology, etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and complications. Results: A significant association was found between the level of knowledge about the etiopathogenesis of oral cancer and the year of study. Conclusion: Third-year students had the highest percentage in relation to the level of knowledge about etiopathogenesis.
