“…After Da Costa et al’s study ( 9 ) of the development and validation of the infection control questionnaire in oral radiology, the researchers applied that questionnaire to 1,006 dentists and 1,203 dental students ( 10 ). According to the results of that study, there was no significant association with respect to experience in the profession, age, specialty, or working institution, although male dentists had lower scores in infection control than females ( 10 ). In the present study, experienced dentists had higher scores regarding personal hygiene.…”

Purpose: There are very few studies evaluating the knowledge of dentists about infection precautions in oral radiology. The aim of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the modified form of a developed questionnaire and to apply this questionnaire to Turkish dentists. Materials and methods: The questionnaire was applied to a sample of 250 dentists for the scale development [200 for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and 50 for control] and 173 dentists for the implementation of the scale. The scale was applied to 200 dentists and construct validity was examined with CFA. For model fit; chi square to df ratio, RMSEA (Root Mean Square Error of Approximation), TLI (Tucker-Lewis Index), CFI (Comparative Fit Index), GFI (goodness of fit index), AGFI (adjusted goodness of fit index) and NFI (normed fit index) were obtained. Also, reliability analysis was applied and itemtotal correlations and Cronbach’s alpha values were given. Adapted scale scores using a different sample of 173 dentists were compared according to demographic characteristics. Results: CFA showed good fit statistics (X2/df=1.511, RMSEA=0.057, TLI=0.942, CFI=0.953, GFI=0.926, AGFI=0.900, NFI=0.928) for the scale. Item-total correlations were over 0.30 and Cronbach’s alpha was calculated as 0.877. In addition, experienced dentists had higher scores in the dimension of personal hygiene (p<0.05). Conclusion: The Turkish version of the modified infection control questionnaire in oral radiology showed adequate psychometric properties. This indicated that it could be a valid and reliable tool for the assessment of infection control in oral radiology among Turkish dentists.

“…The intraoral radiographic techniques have an indispensible significance in curriculum. Since, they are associated with high risk of contamination [ 61 ]; institutes should encourage extraoral projection modalities [ 62 ]. In view of limitations in panoramic or CBCT equipment, strict infection control measures should be enforced while practising intraoral techniques.…”

The pandemic of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has emerged as a global catastrophe that is plaguing mankind. In the past eight months since the world discovered about COVID-19, we learned a lot about server acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2) and perhaps there is much more to discover and understand about the virus. With the current understanding of the disease, we assume it will remain in an active state of transmission and progression among the community for a long time. Thus, it is advisable to adopt the disease’s prevention protocol in our daily and work routine. During this pandemic patient requiring dental treatment cannot be neglected and the role of dental imaging is crucial in delivering treatment. Hence, this article attempts to provide an evidence-based compilation about the mode of transmission and clinical features of COVID-19. It also throws light on the potential source of disease transmission in the dental radiology setting. In addition, it suggests preventive measures to curb the infection and infrastructural model of the clinical setting that will assist in achieving control over the disease transmission. This article intends to project a strategy about protocols, infrastructure, and daily activities in a dental radiology office that institutions can adopt with modifications according to their local scenario.

“…Intraoral radiographs are the most used imaging exams in Dentistry, and they are the radiographic techniques that offer greater contamination risk between patients and professionals [4]. Thus, extraoral imaging, such as panoramic radiography and cone-beam computed tomography, could be viable alternatives during the outbreak of COVID-19 [5].…”
