Summary
This study established a consensus on e-oral health terminology, providing a standardized vocabulary for digital oral healthcare research and practice. The agreed-upon terms aim to improve consistency in future studies.
Area of Science:
- Oral Health
- Digital Health
- Health Informatics
Background:
- Existing literature shows inconsistent use of terminology for digital technologies in oral healthcare.
- Terms like mHealth, teledentistry, and telehealth were often used interchangeably, leading to confusion.
Purpose of the Study:
- To establish a consensus on terminology related to digital technologies in oral healthcare.
- To create a standardized vocabulary for e-oral health research, public health, and clinical practice.
Main Methods:
- A Crowdsourcing Delphi method involving four stages was employed.
- Expert panels were formed, and consensus was reached through online consultations, meetings, and voting.
- A 70% agreement threshold was set for confirming terms and definitions.
Main Results:
- An initial list of 43 terms was refined to a core set of 37.
- 34 experts participated, with 15 completing the final round of consultations.
- All 37 terms and definitions achieved consensus through online voting, exceeding the 70% agreement threshold.
Conclusions:
- This is the first study to achieve consensus on e-oral health terminology.
- The standardized terminology serves as a resource for researchers and practitioners.
- Adoption of this terminology will enhance the homogeneity and comparability of future e-oral health research.

01:24Data Reporting and Recording
4.7K
Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

01:15Teeth
413
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...

834
Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) primarily center around electronically documenting patients' health information within a single healthcare organization or practice. They contain essential clinical data related to a patient's medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, lab results, and other pertinent information relevant to the specific encounter or episode of care. EMRs are designed to streamline documentation and workflow processes within individual healthcare...

01:26Assessment of the Mouth
198
A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.

2.0K
Documentation is the systematic process of formally recording, maintaining, and communicating information.
Nursing documentation records essential information and details regarding a patient's care and treatment in written or electronic form. It is a critical aspect of nursing practice that involves documenting assessments, interventions, outcomes, and other relevant details about a patient's health status.
