Background: The present study was designed to evaluate the knowledge and attitude of the
sixth-year dental students of Zanjan University of Medical Sciences regarding the principles of oral
biopsy and cytology.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was concocted on 70 of the final year
dental students of Zanjan University of Medical Sciences in 2021. The data was collected in the
census method. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire, the first part of
which included demographic information (n=3) and the second part related to students’ knowledge
(n=10) and performance (n=4) of the principles of biopsy and oral cytology. Before distributing
the questionnaire, its validity and reliability were confirmed. The data was entered into SPSS24
software and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient and Independent sample t-test were used to
analyze the data.
Results: The mean and (±SD) of the age of the students was 24.84±1.72 years and 31 (44.3%)
were men. The mean (±SD) scores of students’ knowledge and performance of biopsy were 4.41
(±1.12) and 0.68 (±0.60), respectively. Also, students’ knowledge and performance regarding oral
cytology were 0.51 (±0.63) and 0.47 (±0.58), respectively. There was no statistically significant relationship
between gender and age variables with knowledge and performance levels in the biopsy
and cytology sections (P-Value>0.05).
Conclusion: Our study showed students’ knowledge and performance of oral biopsy was moderate,
while their knowledge and performance of oral cytology was very poor, therefore, it seems
necessary to provide solutions to increase students’ knowledge and performance.
Keywords: Knowledge; Performance; Biopsy; Cytology; Dental student.
