Objective is to investigate the knowledge and attitude among Indonesian dentists in prescribing medication for oral lesions. A cross-sectional survey recruited 497 dentists from 23 provinces consisting of general practitioners and specialists. A triangulation strategy was undertaken utilizing a quantitative design with a validated 39-item structured questionnaire, followed by a qualitative approach in-depth interview with 15 consenting participants. Logistic regression was used and inductive theme analysis was employed. Female gender was correlated with dentists' knowledge of oral lesion drug administration (p=0.029), whereas continuing dental education (p=0.025) and a high degree of knowledge (p=0.001) also had a significant impact on dentists' attitudes. 56.1% of dentists treated oral lesions on their own, and 39.5% referred oral medicine specialists. The most prevalent oral lesion themes were trauma-induced and diabetes-related lesions. The majority of respondents were unable to describe the characteristics and appropriate treatment for oral lesions. The quantitative analysis of dentists' knowledge and attitude in Indonesia revealed a high level, however, the qualitative assessment revealed the inverse. Dentists have difficulty detecting and identifying the various forms of oral lesions and their treatment. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that dentists improve their oral lesion training.
