Then data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient, T-test) in all tests, the significance level is considered 0.05(.
Results: The mean score of dentists’ knowledge was 4.62 ± 1.42 and, the mean score of students' knowledge was 4.96 ± 1.77 out of 8 points. The knowledge of dentists who had participated in retraining courses was higher than that of dentists who had not attended any biopsy retraining and was statistically significant (p value > 0.001). The mean score of dentists' attitude (39.6 ± 4.06) was higher than the students' (37.05 ± 3.06).
Conclusion: level of knowledge and attitude of dentists and students about the principles of biopsy was moderate. Their performance was also poor and most of the dentists expressed a lack of necessary skills for not doing a biopsy.
