There is good evidence to specifically consider smoking cessation counselling in a periodic health examination. (grade A recommendation)
For population screening, there is fair evidence to specifically exclude screening for oral cancer. (grade D recommendation)
For opportunistic screening during periodic examinations, there is sufficient evidence to recommend inclusion or exclusion of screening for oral cancer. (grade C recommendation)
