Oral cancer remains, despite advances, a public health problem worldwide. For the prognosis to be favorable, the lesion must be identified at an early stage, taking into account its clinical characteristics. This study aimed to analyze clinical cases of patients affected by Squamous Cell Carcinoma and compare the level of knowledge of undergraduate dentistry students facing a diagnosis of oral cancer. The clinical history of the medical records of patients with this diagnosis was investigated, respecting their identity, and a questionnaire was carried out with students to compare the level of knowledge with the inherent characteristics of our region in relation to oral cancer. The results obtained are in accordance with the articles studied, taking into account that Cancer generally affects men between 40 and 80 years old, who have the habit of drinking and smoking. The most affected area was the tongue, with ulcerated and irregular lesions in smokers. The knowledge of dentistry students was satisfactory, according to the clinical characteristics found in the cases studied. It is concluded that diagnosing oral cancer at an early stage is the most effective way to reduce morbidity, difficulty and treatment extension. Thus, the study aimed to report how important the Dental Surgeon is in the clinical knowledge of the lesion, as this may be the first professional to come across this disease. Public health actions are also essential to alert the population about the risk factors that lead to the onset of the disease.
