The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of an examiners' training programme applied to identification of erythroplakia, which undergraduate dental students have found particularly difficult. An experimental group of 5th year undergraduate dental students received a pictorial handout with diagnostic criteria for oral red lesions and two, one hour-long diagnostic seminars in which oral erythroplakia was discussed, together with other red lesions with similar clinical appearance. Three months later a set of 16 photographic slides depicting previously pathologically diagnosed red lesions were projected. Sensitivity, specificity and agreement were all higher for the experimental group compared to a control group. It is suggested that teaching procedures using slides could be useful for training future examiners at recognizing oral erythroplakias.
