              <p>Background: Oral cancer is a significant public health issue in India, especially in areas with high tobacco use. Early detection through routine oral screening significantly improves survival outcomes. Dental professionals are essential for diagnosing the disease early.Aim: To evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practice toward oral cancer screening among dental practitioners in the Chengalpattu population.Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was conducted among 105 dental practitioners practicing in and around Chengalpattu. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation.Results: Most dental practitioners in the Chengalpattu population showed good knowledge of the risk factors and early signs of oral cancer. They had a positive attitude toward screening, but their routine screening practices were inconsistent.Conclusion: Knowledge levels among dental practitioners in the Chengalpattu population were satisfactory; however, training programs are needed to improve clinical practice.</p>
