“…13 The results of our study showed that very few dentists thought the radiology reports were very good. In the study of Selim et al 13 from Australia, the researchers found that majority (80.2%) of general dentists and most (58.6%) of specialist dentists were not satisfied about dental radiology reports (Selim). In a study from Turkey, Dogan et al 1 evaluated medical doctors' expectations of radiology reports and demonstrated that the reports were found to be adequate by most (60%) of the doctors.…”

“…In a recent study from Australia, Selim et al 13 evaluated the satisfaction level of dentists from dental radiology reports, not only CBCT reports. In that country, there are limited numbers of dentomaxillofacial radiologists in that country, dental radiology reports were prepared by medical radiologists more than dentomaxillofacial radiologists.…”

“…12 To the best of our best knowledge, there is little to no data of published research about the assessment of dentists' comments/expectations from CBCT reporting by dentomaxillofacial radiologists. Selim et al 13 published a study about the satisfaction of dentists with dental radiology reports, not involve only CBCT. The other study about CBCT reporting was Peker et al's study, which was conducted about the approaches of dentomaxillofacial and medical radiologist about reporting.…”

Objectives: Radiology reports are the most important method of communication between the clinician and the radiologist. In dentomaxillofacial radiology, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) reporting is a new subject. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the satisfaction and expectations of dentists from CBCT reporting as well as contributing to standardization and improvement in the quality of CBCT reports. Materials and Methods: Dentists were invited to participate in the survey by e-mail. The participants filled out a survey with their demographic data and responded to 14 questions regarding CBCT reports. The responses regarding gender, age, title, institution, and department were analysed and compared with chi-square tests. Results: In total, 185 dentists (97 females and 88 males) participated in the study. Participants reported that the adequacy level of the reports were mostly moderate (N:87; 47%) and that the source of adequate reports was university hospitals (N:91; 49.2%). Fifty-seven percent of the surveyors (N:106) reported that they needed a consultant radiologist in clinical practice on a part time basis. There was a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) between participants' genders, age groups, titles, and departments regarding the source of the adequate reports. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that most of the dentists were not satisfied about the proficiency of CBCT reports. More than half of those surveyed thought that "not reading" the radiology reports might give them a legal liability. Most dentists wanted to consult with the radiologist before and after patient examinations.

“…En base a lo descrito, es posible afirmar que la RMF es fundamental como apoyo al clínico tratante para la determinación del diagnóstico del paciente. La RMF es reconocida como especialidad odontológica a la fecha en más de 50 países (43) , sin embargo, en algunos de estos países, este reconocimiento es reciente (44) . En Santiago de Chile, en 1968, se fundó la Asociación Internacional de Radiología DentoMaxiloFacial (IADMFR, del inglés International Association of DentoMaxilloFacial Radiology).…”

“…Además, puede ocurrir que un especialista en RMF no sea valorado como especialista, dificultando su incorporación en universidades (46) o centros clínicos multidisciplinarios. La inexistencia de especialistas en RMF o su falta de valoración, implica que el clínico tratante sería quien toma y/o diagnostica los exámenes radiográficos de sus pacientes (44) y en otros casos, puede ser incluso el radiólogo médico quien diagnostique algunos exámenes radiográficos extraorales (44) . Se ha observado deficiencias de los odontólogos en: solicitud de exámenes radiográficos (47) , identificación de la técnica intraoral utilizada (46), dosis de exposición a la radiación del paciente (48) , procesado de la imagen (48) y diagnóstico radiográfico de lesiones (29,42) .…”

Objectives: This is a follow-up study to assess growth in the number of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and panoramic radiography (PR) machines in Australia. It is also the first study to evaluate the current status of both CBCT and PR education in Australia. Methods: CBCT and PR machine numbers were obtained from the radiation regulators across Australia. Australian dental schools were surveyed via email. The number of machines relative to population size and the number of dentists were calculated. Results: In 2020, there were 706 CBCT machines and 3,059 PR machines, representing a 204.3% increase in the number of CBCT machines and an 82.0% increase in the number of PR machines over six years. Majority of Australian dental schools owned PR and CBCT machines. Most taught PR acquisition and interpretation, however only one-third taught CBCT image acquisition and interpretation to predoctoral students. Conclusions: CBCT machine numbers increased by nearly three-fold while PR machines only increased by 1.6 times over a six-year period relative to population size and number of dentists. Only very few Australian dental schools provide CBCT education to predoctoral students, raising concern as to whether graduates are adequately trained upon program completion.

Dentomaxillofacial radiology in Australia and dentist satisfaction with radiology reports

Abstract: The research indicates a high degree of self-reporting or non-reporting by dental practitioners. There is low satisfaction with external reporting performed by Medical Radiologists primarily due to a lack of dental knowledge or detail and a preference for DMF Radiology reports.
