There was a good level of awareness among dental hygienists regarding leukoplakia (86.5%), instead less than half recognized erythroplakia as a precancerous lesion. Moderate knowledge was recorded about frequent sites of oral cancer development. Most of dental hygienists reported to perform intraoral screening (85.2%\u2013100%). To regard attitude, a great variability was found about adequacy of undergraduate training (15.7%\u201375.0%) and most of dental hygienists expressed the need for continuing education (92.7%\u201399.0%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Dental hygienists play a key role in oral cancer detection.
