Abstract

Background: Oral cancer remains a global health concern. Many cases are diagnosed at an advanced stage, which affects both treatment outcomes and prognosis. Objective: This study aims to assess the knowledge and attitudes of dental practitioners toward oral cancer in Banda Aceh. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2023 among dentists in Banda Aceh and its surrounding areas. Data were collected using an online questionnaire, which included demographic information and questions on etiology, risk factors, signs and symptoms, oral screening, and attitudes toward oral cancer. Results: A total of 130 respondents participated, comprising 87.7% general practitioners and 12.3% dental specialists. More than half of the respondents demonstrated good knowledge of oral cancer etiology (61.5%) and its signs and symptoms (63.8%). However, only 52.3% had ever performed oral screening. Among those who had never conducted oral screening, 74.6% cited a lack of knowledge on how to perform it, with 16.9% specifically stating that they did not know the correct procedure. Additionally, only 40% of respondents had attended an oral cancer-related conference in the past year. A significant association was found between gender and knowledge of etiology (p < 0.001). Conclusion: To reduce the burden of oral cancer, it is essential to implement strategies that enhance dental practitioners’ knowledge and attitudes toward the disease. Early detection through oral screening and participation in training programs can effectively minimize delays in diagnosis and improve patient outcomes.

Abstract

The width of pharyngeal airway can be affected by skeletal pattern and hyoid bone position. The purpose of this study was to analyze the difference between upper and lower pharyngeal airway and hyoid bone position in class I and II skeletal malocclusion patients using cephalometric. The descriptive analytical study design was used to analyse the secondary data collected from patients in Dental Radiology installation, RSGM UNPAD. Sample size was determined using purposive sampling method with the total of 44 cephalometric. The average of upper pharyngeal airway width in class I was 14,814,08 mm and 12,273,16 mm in class II with P value of 0,0026 (P 0,05). The average of lower pharyngeal airway width in class I was 11,662,57 mm and 10,621,77 mm in class II with P Value of 0,202 (P0,05). The hyoid bone position revealed similar results between class I and II malocclusions showing that 7 subjects had positive triangle positions and 15 patients had negative triangle positions with P value of 1,000 (P0,05). The difference of upper pharyngeal airway width between class I and II skeletal malocclusion patients was considered significant. In contrary, there was no significant difference found in lower pharyngeal airway and hyoid bone position.
