Catalogue summary
Questionnaires from 1,316 dentists in Moldova, Belarus, and Armenia measured oral-cancer risk knowledge, lesion recognition, screening practice, and examination barriers; limited training and uneven recognition produced a combined mean score of 7.5.
Why this matters
The country comparison identifies concrete education needs for earlier oral-cancer detection among Armenian dental professionals.
