Resumo: Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic ability and perception of self-confidence by medical residents and students in relation to oral ulcers and the impact of a distance educational intervention, comparing their performances with those of dental students and residents. Study design: A quasi-experimental study consisted of 77 participants from the medical (Med) and dental (Dent) areas. The diagnostic abilities test comprised a questionnaire containing 20 photos of oral lesions. Their self-confidence was evaluated from a 5-point Likert scale. The educational intervention, applied among the Med, was a video class. Results: The median for diagnostic ability of the Med was 50%, being lower than that of the Dent (students=65 and residents=80, Kruskal-Wallis/Dunn, p<0.01). Approximately 70% of the Med was not confident/not really confident for the diagnosis of oral ulcers, whereas no Dent was perceived in these categories. The perception of self-confidence was higher among Dent than among the Meds (Kruskal Wallis/Dunn, p<0.01). Medical residents scored better in the diagnostic test after educational intervention (Student´s t-test, p <0.01). Conclusion: The knowledge of Med about oral ulcers is limited. These findings suggest that educational actions may contribute to mitigate the training gap of medical students and residents in relation to oral ulcers.
