The questionnaire covered five domains: demographics, exposure to forensic education, conceptual familiarity, terminology recognition and professional responsibilities.

Conversely, medical students demonstrated higher recognition rates in specific domains, such as lip print terminology (24.4% vs. 4.9%) and the utility of teeth as a DNA source (33.3% vs. 12.5%). Senior students and female participants exhibited significantly higher indices of awareness and ethical sensitivity. Notably, a marked dissonance was observed between participants' high self\u2010rated sufficiency (&gt;\u200980%) and their limited technical familiarity with specific forensic parameters.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Despite having greater curricular exposure, dental students did not consistently demonstrate superior forensic knowledge compared to medical students, highlighting a disconnect between educational quantity and professional proficiency.
