The 40 jaw lesions were classified into four categories: cyst, benign tumor, inflammation or malignancy, and other bone lesion. The mean score for the 10 anatomical structure questions and the mean accuracy rate for diagnosing the 40 jaw lesions were calculated. Based on their scores on the anatomical structure questions, 125 students were divided into three groups (upper, middle, and lower). The accuracy rates for diagnosing jaw lesions among these groups were statistically analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.05).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Among all students, the mean score for normal anatomical structures was 5.99 out of 10, and the mean accuracy rate for diagnosing jaw lesions was 44.8%. In the analysis of jaw lesions, the four categories exhibited significant differences in accuracy rates: cyst (53.8%), benign tumor (47.7%), inflammation or malignancy (45.0%), and other bone lesion (32.7%).
