Abstract

Background

Clinical photographs are now considered an essential element for accurate and objective dental records. Very little information exists on dental photography in children and the factors that can influence the dentist's decision to take dental photographs.

Aim

This study aimed to assess the current use, attitude and confidence of paediatric dentists using clinical dental photography of children worldwide.

Design

This was a cross-sectional questionnaire-based study distributed online to paediatric dentists around the globe.

Results

The survey was completed by 390 dentists. The majority of participants (82.3%, n = 321) took dental photographs of their patients, and over 74% of the participants were confident in taking dental photographs. Sixty-nine dentists (17.7%) did not take photographs. Seventy-four per cent (n = 240) of those who take dental photographs and 47.8% (n = 33) of those who do not take dental photographs reported an effect on the child's behaviour. The majority of participants expressed interest in receiving further training.

Conclusion

Most paediatric dentists take dental photographs of their patients and value their role in the behavioural management of the child patient. Paediatric dentists need further training in children's dental photography, including guidance on proper image recording, storage and transfer.

儿童牙科摄影：全球调查。

背景：临床照片现在被认为是准确、客观的牙科记录的基本要素。关于儿童牙科摄影以及影响牙医决定拍摄牙科照片的因素的信息却很少。目的：本研究旨在评估全球儿童牙医使用儿童临床牙科摄影的现状、态度和信心：设计：这是一项以横断面问卷为基础的研究，通过网络向全球儿科牙医发放问卷：390名牙科医生完成了调查。大多数参与者（82.3%，n = 321）为患者拍摄了牙科照片，超过 74% 的参与者对拍摄牙科照片有信心。69名牙医（17.7%）没有拍摄照片。74%（n=240）拍摄牙科照片的牙医和47.8%（n=33）不拍摄牙科照片的牙医表示对儿童的行为有影响。大多数参与者表示有兴趣接受进一步培训：结论：大多数儿童牙科医生都会为患者拍摄牙科照片，并重视照片在儿童患者行为管理中的作用。儿童牙科医生需要进一步接受儿童牙科摄影方面的培训，包括正确记录、存储和传输图像方面的指导。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry was formed in 1991 by the merger of the Journals of the International Association of Paediatric Dentistry and the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry and is published bi-monthly. It has true international scope and aims to promote the highest standard of education, practice and research in paediatric dentistry world-wide. International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry publishes papers on all aspects of paediatric dentistry including: growth and development, behaviour management, diagnosis, prevention, restorative treatment and issue relating to medically compromised children or those with disabilities. This peer-reviewed journal features scientific articles, reviews, case reports, clinical techniques, short communications and abstracts of current paediatric dental research. Analytical studies with a scientific novelty value are preferred to descriptive studies. Case reports illustrating unusual conditions and clinically relevant observations are acceptable but must be of sufficiently high quality to be considered for publication; particularly the illustrative material must be of the highest quality.
