“…3,4 Moreover, Aldawood et al pointed out in their study that parents had little knowledge about the timing of seeking dental care for their children. 5 A recent study in Jeddah, Saudi 1 Arabia, found that 25% of the children recruited had never visited a dentist. 6 The access to dental care is most hindered by the cost and a lack of time, as well as a lack of transportation options.…”

Introduction : The increasing burden of dental caries and the lack of effective dental caries screening protocols in non-dental settings, such as schools, demand an innovative and cost-effective approach. Teledentistry is the field of dentistry that combines telecommunication with health records and digital imaging to improve access to dental care and help in epidemiological surveys. This study aimed to assess the accuracy of non-dentist teledentistry in caries detection compared with the clinical dental examination of a sample of 5–10-year-old schoolchildren. Methods A calibrated dentist examined schoolchildren aged 5–10 years old. The dentist and two teachers took intraoral photographs for each child, using a smartphone. The photographs were concealed; therefore, the dentist assessed the three sets of photographs blindly two weeks after the clinical examination. Accuracy was measured to compare the teledentistry examination with the clinical dental examination. Results The mean DMFT of primary teeth was 3.38, 3.42, and 3.17 upon clinical examination, dental-teledentistry examination (findings of photographs taken by a dentist), and non-dental teledentistry (findings of photographs taken by teachers), respectively. The mean DMFT of permanent teeth was 0.75, 0.69, and 0.65 upon clinical examination, dental-teledentistry examination, and non-dental teledentistry examination, respectively. In primary teeth, dental teledentistry and non-dental teledentistry examinations showed 95 and 98.3 sensitivity and 94.3 and 91.4 specificity, respectively. In permanent teeth, dental teledentistry and non-dental teledentistry examinations showed 80.8 and 88.5 sensitivity and 94.1 and 96.1 specificity, respectively. Conclusions Teledentistry has acceptable accuracy for caries detection in schoolchildren compared to a clinical dental examination.

The purpose of this study was to compare factors causing stress in pediatric and general dentists when treating pediatric patients and to evaluate their overall occupational stress level. A total of 191 dentists participated in the online survey, consisting of 66 pediatric dentists and 125 general dentists. The questionnaire was conducted using Google Form. Both groups were stressed due to poor cooperation of patient and caregiver, uncertain prognosis of treatment, and low cost of pediatric dental treatment. The pediatric dentists felt relatively high stress due to poor cooperation from caregivers and an uncertain prognosis of treatment (<i>p</i> < 0.05). Overall occupational stress was high in both groups in the order of patient, time, job environment, and income-related stress, and the degrees of pediatric dentists were lower than general dentists. Among the 3 sub-factors of occupational burnout, more than 98% of both groups showed burnout in “depersonalization”, and more than 69% of both groups showed burnout in “emotional exhaustion”. Both groups showed a low burnout rate in “reduced sense of accomplishment” and pediatric dentists showed a higher sense of accomplishment than general dentists (<i>p</i> < 0.05). This study showed that both groups were under high occupational stress due to various factors, and efforts were required to relieve stress.
