“…Since the criteria are valid and reliable tool and are accepted internationally, therefore, it could help to provide knowledge in a standardised way. Hellen‐Halme et al 20 and our research team in the previous study 18 reported the usefulness of using Ahmad et al 8 criteria. Both teams assumed that it could increase the diagnostic outcome among observers for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and CBCT evaluations of the TMJ, respectively.…”

“…Various CBCT online training programmes are available to support dental education in radiology, and they are useful and show high efficacy in delivering knowledge 15‐18 . Our research team recently published a training programme on the detection of TMJ osseous changes using predefined 2D multiplane CBCT reconstructions 18 . Thus, the purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate the usefulness of a web‐based educational programme for TMJ assessment using CBCT.…”

Objectives To develop and evaluate an educational web‐based programme for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) assessment using cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods A web‐based educational programme was designed for TMJ assessment using CBCT images. Fifteen CBCT cases of the TMJ (three‐dimensional reconstructed volumes) and an assessment module based on image analysis criteria in the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD) were added to the programme. Thirty‐six undergraduate dental students were invited to test the programme by assessing all cases twice: before and after 2 months of training. Participants submitted written subjective evaluations of the programme. Results The web‐based programme can be accessed on Malmö University webpage (http://www.cbct-tmj.mau.se). Despite limited CBCT learning in their undergraduate training and not using the programme in the 2‐month interval, the students were able to correctly diagnose 80% of the cases at the second assessment. Their diagnoses, however, did not differ significantly from the first assessment. Overall, the students were satisfied with the programme and considered it user‐friendly. Conclusion The web‐based educational programme that was developed in the present study and tested by dental students could be a useful educational tool for TMJ assessment using CBCT.

“…Different appearances of CCAA were also presented to increase awareness of different characteristics of calcifications in the area of the carotid arteries . Similar to our results, other studies of short training programmes on specific types of diagnostic imaging have reported improvements in diagnostic accuracy for GDPs, physicians and complete novices . The GDPs in the present study also presented high skill retention at the 1‐year follow‐up.…”

“…The study did not include a long‐term follow‐up . Short training programmes including practical training have been shown to be effective to increased accuracy in diagnostic imaging among GDPs assessing osseous changes in the tempomandibular joint on Cone Beam Computer Tomography and among dental students assessing osteoporosis in dental radiographs . Similar results have also been reported for physicians when assessing pneumonia on chest radiographs and novices trained in doppler assessments of the intima thickness of the carotid artery .…”

Purpose To study general dental practitioners (GDPs) ability to detect calcified carotid artery atheromas (CCAAs) in panoramic radiographs (PRs) and if their diagnostic accuracy in long term is improved after a short training programme. Methods Fourteen GDPs had their diagnostic accuracy regarding CCAA in PR assessed at baseline, 2 weeks and 1 year after training. Comparison was made with a reference standard based on consensus results from two experienced oral and maxillofacial radiologists. At each session, 100 radiographs were assessed individually by the GDPs. After the baseline assessment, the GDPs participated in a 2‐hour training programme comprising a lecture and diagnostic training by calibration. The GDPs results before and after training were compared, as well as between follow‐up sessions. Results A significant improvement in diagnostic accuracy was observed with increased sensitivity (from 41.8% to 55.7%, P = 0.02) without a significant decrease in specificity (from 87.2% to 86.7%, P = 0.87). The Kappa values also increased (from 0.66 to 0.71, P = 0.04). At 1‐year follow‐up, the improvement compared to baseline remained significant. There were no significant changes between the 2‐week and 1‐year follow‐up assessment. Conclusion A short training programme can significantly and sustainable improve GDPs diagnostic accuracy regarding CCAA.

Assessment of a training programme on detection of temporomandibular joint osseous changes applying pre‐defined 2D multiplane cone beam computed tomography reconstructions

Abstract: The present educational programme could be a helpful material on recognising possible osseous changes of TMJ and it can be used as a part of a training programme for GDP and for specialist candidates.
