Dental professionals are in a unique position to offer tobacco cessation support, yet many lack adequate training and education in this area. This study evaluates the impact of a comprehensive training program on the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of dental professionals regarding tobacco cessation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 150 dental professionals from various dental clinics participated in a six-month training program. The program included workshops, online modules, and practical sessions focused on tobacco cessation techniques, motivational interviewing, and patient education. Pre- and post-training surveys were administered to assess changes in knowledge, confidence, and frequency of tobacco cessation counseling. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests and Chi-square tests.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The training program significantly improved the participants\u2019 knowledge of tobacco cessation (mean score increased from 60% to 85%,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001) and their confidence in providing cessation counseling (mean confidence rating increased from 3.2 to 4.5 on a 5-point scale,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001).
