This paper is concerned with oscillation theory for selfadjoint second-order scalar dynamic equations of the form \[ (p(t)x^\Delta(t))^\Delta+q(t)x^\sigma(t)=0\leqno(\ast) \] on time scales \({\mathbb T}\). Here, a time scale is an arbitrary nonempty closed subset of the real numbers, denoted as measure chain by the authors, \(x^\Delta\) stands for the \(\Delta\)-derivative of \(x\) and \(x^\sigma\) is the composition of \(x\) with the forward jump operator \(\sigma\). Furthermore, \(p,q:{\mathbb T}\rightarrow{\mathbb R}\) are assumed to be rd-continuous. The authors provide Kamenev-type and interval oscillation criteria for such linear dynamic equations on time scales. These criteria generalize corresponding theorems for ODEs by \textit{Ch. G.~Philos} [Arch. Math. 53, 482--492 (1989; Zbl 0661.34030)] or the second author [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 229, 258--270 (1999; Zbl 0924.34026)], respectively, and are new for difference equations in particular. The paper closes with four examples illustrating the obtained results, two of them for difference equations and one on a time scale with unbounded graininess.
