A preliminary telematic approach (ATP) can support paediatric dental visits, enhancing patient collaboration and reducing anxiety. This innovative strategy shows promise for improving the first dental experience for children.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Digital Health
- Paediatric Care
Background:
- Teledentistry is an emerging strategy in paediatric dentistry with limited evidence.
- Further research is needed to establish teledentistry's effectiveness and evidence-based application.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate a preliminary telematic approach (ATP) for improving patient compliance during the first dental visit.
- To assess the impact of ATP on patient collaboration and anxiety in paediatric dental care.
Main Methods:
- A comparative study involving 200 paediatric patients divided into an ATP group and a control group.
- Ordinal semi-proportional regression analysis was used to compare collaboration degrees, adjusting for covariates.
Main Results:
- The preliminary telematic approach (ATP) demonstrated potential as a supportive tool for traditional paediatric dental visits.
- ATP may enhance patient management, fidelity, reduce anxiety, and increase collaboration.
Conclusions:
- Teledentistry, through a preliminary telematic approach, shows promise in paediatric dentistry.
- This method can improve patient experience and outcomes in initial dental appointments.
