Summary
Dentists and patients view orthodontic telemonitoring positively, recognizing its high-tech benefits and potential to reduce in-office visits. Both groups see it as a quality-enhancing tool, though willingness to invest more time and money varies.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Digital Health
- Orthodontics
Background:
- Telemonitoring in orthodontics offers remote patient management.
- Dental Monitoring (DM) software facilitates this remote care.
- Understanding user attitudes is crucial for adoption.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze dentist and patient attitudes towards orthodontic telemonitoring software (Dental Monitoring).
- To assess perceptions of technology, treatment quality, and visit frequency reduction.
Main Methods:
- Two specific questionnaires were administered to 80 dentists and 80 orthodontic patients.
- Data collected on attitudes towards telemonitoring, perceived benefits, and preferred frequencies.
Main Results:
- Over 96% of dentists and 97% of patients viewed telemonitoring positively.
- Both groups perceived DM as high-tech and a means to reduce in-office visits.
- Preferred telemonitoring frequencies varied, with bi-weekly being common for both groups.
Conclusions:
- Dentists and patients share positive attitudes towards orthodontic telemonitoring.
- DM is perceived as a technologically advanced tool that enhances treatment quality and accuracy.
- While interested in fewer visits, willingness to invest more time/money requires further consideration.

707
Holter monitoring is a continuous electrocardiography (ECG) recording that tracks the heart's electrical activity over an extended period, generally 24 to 48 hours. This noninvasive diagnostic tool detects irregular heart rhythms that may not be captured during a standard ECG performed in a clinical setting.DeviceThe Holter monitor is a portable, small device connected to several electrodes on the patient's chest. These electrodes detect the heart's electrical signals and transmit them to the...

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...
