The study aimed to assess the awareness and knowledge about Bowen's disease among dental students. Bowen disease is an infrequent skin disorder and is also referred to as squamous cell carcinoma . It is a noninvasive form of intraepidermal squamous cell carcinoma with flat or slightly raised lesions. An online survey was conducted among 300 dental students between the age group of 18-30 years in the Chennai district based on Bowen's disease. This is the best approach to data collection due to the large population of the city of Chennai and is also appropriate in the current situation where people need to avoid gatherings and close contact. About 78.21% were BDS students and 21.79% were MDS students. In the age group of 10-20 years, 8.97% responded heard about Bowen disease and 3.85% responded not heard. Within the 21-30 years age group, 44.02% responded that Bowen disease is invasive and 20.09% responded noninvasive. Studies showed that the exact occurrence of Bowen's disease is not known. It is found to be more common in men than in women. To conclude, about 65% of participants were aware of Bowen's disease. Nevertheless, patients with Bowen's disease seem to be at an abnormal risk of internal malignancies, and they need to be educated about the various treatments available to prevent the cause as soon as possible.
该研究旨在评估牙科专业学生对鲍恩病的认识和了解程度。鲍恩病是一种罕见的皮肤疾病，也被称为鳞状细胞癌。它是表皮内鳞状细胞癌的一种非侵袭性形式，表现为扁平或略微隆起的病变。在金奈地区，对300名年龄在18至30岁之间的牙科专业学生进行了一项关于鲍恩病的在线调查。鉴于金奈市人口众多，这是收集数据的最佳方法，而且在当前人们需要避免聚集和密切接触的情况下也很合适。约78.21%为口腔医学学士（BDS）学生，21.79%为口腔医学硕士（MDS）学生。在10至20岁年龄组中，8.97%的受访者表示听说过鲍恩病，3.85%的受访者表示没听说过。在21至30岁年龄组中，44.02%的受访者认为鲍恩病具有侵袭性，20.09%的受访者认为不具有侵袭性。研究表明，鲍恩病的确切发病率尚不清楚。已发现该病在男性中比在女性中更为常见。总之，约65%的参与者知晓鲍恩病。然而，鲍恩病患者似乎存在患内部恶性肿瘤的异常风险，需要尽快对他们进行有关各种可用治疗方法的教育，以预防病因。
