Introdução: O câncer bucal é um importante problema de saúde pública, cujos impactos sobre os indivíduos acometidos são agravados pelo diagnóstico tardio e pela elevada morbidade associada. Objetivo: Estabelecer diretrizes para campanhas educativas sobre o câncer bucal. Método: A amostra do estudo foi composta por um painel de 20 professores, abrangendo as seguintes especialidades: estomatologia, patologia oral e maxilofacial, cirurgia e traumatologia bucomaxilofacial, radiologia odontológica e imaginologia, epidemiologia e saúde coletiva. O processo de formulação envolveu duas rodadas de questionários. Dois professores compilaram os resultados, que foram discutidos com o grande grupo após cada rodada, por meio de videoconferência (Google Meet®). Resultados: As respostas foram agrupadas em seis eixos: epidemiologia, prevenção, fatores de risco, características clínicas, diagnóstico e tratamento. Dentro de cada eixo, foram pontuados temas específicos para inclusão (ou não) com base em perguntas objetivas. A decisão baseou-se na existência de evidências científicas que respaldassem as informações. Seguindo a metodologia Delphi, os temas com mais de 80% de opiniões favoráveis foram mantidos nas diretrizes. Na segunda etapa, os painelistas definiram o público-alvo de cada assunto (dentistas ou a população) e forneceram considerações sobre o tema. Ao final, foi produzida uma lista de temas recomendados e breves justificativas para os excluídos. Conclusão: O presente estudo identificou questões pertinentes ao câncer bucal, que poderiam, a partir de sua aplicação, facilitar a organização e a padronização dos conteúdos para campanhas educativas direcionadas a dentistas e à população em geral.
