Survey reveals strong theoretical knowledge in dental students for common oral pathology, suggesting improvements in case-based teaching for competency in rare conditions.
Students demonstrated strong theoretical knowledge of common oral pathological entities but variability in identifying and managing rare or diagnostically nuanced conditions. Because this survey evaluates recognition rather than competence, findings highlight the need for case-based, competency-aligned teaching approaches to strengthen diagnostic reasoning and management decision-making.
