ABSTRACT
Investigation in oral cancer comprises many different fields such as epidemiology, risk factors, biological markers, diagnostic testing, screening, treatment and prognosis. Although many researchers have dealt with the oral cancer problem, it is unknown if any public policy is capable of reducing its incidence around the world under the scrutiny of the scientific method. This paper aims to briefly review and discuss the literature regarding oral cancer public policies and to screen the evidence of controlled implementations of oral health policies that have been able to diminish oral cancer incidence around the globe.
