Educational material,

Patients with head and neck cancer and practicing dentists in Germany participate in an anonymous, prospective pre-post survey study. Both groups complete a baseline questionnaire assessing demographic characteristics as well as knowledge, attitudes, experiences, and decision-making related to dental care in the context of head and neck cancer treatment. Following the baseline assessment, participants receive group-specific, guideline-based written educational information. After reviewing the educational material, participants complete a post-intervention questionnaire with identical content. The effect of the educational intervention is evaluated by comparing pre- and post-assessment responses within each group.
