Abstract

Abstract Background  Erythroplakia is a rare oral potentially malignant disease (OPMD) lesion with prevalence ranging from 0.02 to 0.83%, but it has a higher possibility of malignant transformation, ranging from 14 to 50%. Early detection is crucial for better patient prognosis, but it is challenging for preclinical and clinical dental students to recognize erythroplakia. Objective  The aim of this study was to identify the level of knowledge of dental students about erythroplakia as an OPMD lesion based on their academic level. Methods  This analytical cross-sectional study used a simple randomized sampling design. Data were cross-tabulated to describe the knowledge of erythroplakia. Results  In total, 167 respondents completed the questionnaire, with the majority of 130 (77.84%) being females and 65 (38.92%) were older than 21 years. The majority of respondents, 122 (73.05%), had moderate knowledge, while 31 (18.57%) had poor knowledge and 14 (8.38%) had good knowledge of erythroplakia in terms of etiology, predisposition factors, clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. Conclusion  Most of the dental students included in the study had intermediate level of knowledge of erythroplakia as an OPMD lesion.
口腔科学生对红斑作为口腔潜在恶性疾病的认识
摘要背景红斑病是一种罕见的口腔潜在恶性疾病(OPMD)病变,患病率为0.02 ~ 0.83%,但其恶性转化的可能性较高,为14% ~ 50%。早期发现对更好的患者预后至关重要,但临床前和临床牙科学生识别红斑病是具有挑战性的。目的了解牙科专业学生对红斑病作为OPMD病变的认知水平。方法本研究采用简单随机抽样设计。数据交叉表,以描述对红细胞增多症的认识。结果共167人完成问卷调查,其中女性130人(77.84%),年龄在21岁以上的65人(38.92%)。调查对象中,对红斑病的病因、易感因素、临床表现、诊断、治疗、预后的了解程度一般的有122人(73.05%),较差的有31人(18.57%),较好的有14人(8.38%)。结论本研究中大多数牙科学生对红斑病作为OPMD病变有中等水平的认识。
