“…Recently, increased demands for clinical applications that require less chair time have led orthodontists to use digital workflows during bonding procedures. Using digital indirect bonding technology necessitates the use of intraoral or desktop scanner, digital bracket placement software, and a 3D printer ( 6 ). Within this context, various dental products are available for orthodontists.…”

“…Digital technology has been rapidly spreading among orthodontists, offering immense convenience throughout the treatment process, from diagnosis to follow-up ( 5 ). In orthodontic practice, digital technology has been integrated with intraoral scanners, computer-aided design and manufacturing systems, and three-dimensional (3D) printers ( 6 ). Parallel to this development, the time-consuming steps of the traditional indirect bonding technique have led orthodontists to prefer digital bracket placement, considering advantages such as increased bracket-positioning accuracy, reduced bracket repositioning, and decreased need for wire bending ( 7 ).…”

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate YouTube videos as a source of information for digital indirect bonding techniques. Materials and methods: The keyword “digital indirect bonding” was first searched on YouTube, resulting in 57 recorded videos. Descriptive parameters, including source, target audience, purpose, duration, upload date, number of likes, dislikes, views, and comments, were then evaluated. After this initial assessment, the interaction index and viewing rate were calculated. Video content quality was determined using a 5-point scale that categorized videos as having poor, moderate, or good content quality. This rating was based on the presence and discussion of various topics related to digital indirect bonding, including digital scan, digital bracket placement, transfer tray production from a 3D-printed model or direct production as a 3D-printed tray, clinical application, and advantages and/or disadvantages. The videos were assessed for quality using the global quality scale (GQS) and video information and quality index (VIQI). Statistical evaluation was conducted using Kruskal-Wallis, Chi-square, and Pearson correlation analysis, and intraclass correlation coefficients were calculated to determine the rating reliability. Results: The majority of the videos were classified as having poor content quality (41.9%), followed by moderate (38.7%) and good (19.4%) content quality. No significant differences were found between the videos in terms of descriptive parameters. However, videos with good content quality had significantly higher GQS and VIQI scores than moderate and poor content videos. The total content showed significant correlations with GQS and VIQI (r=0.780 and r=0.446, respectively; plt;0.05). Conclusion: In conclusion, while the majority of YouTube videos regarding digital indirect bonding were of poor content quality, those that were of good content quality could be considered a useful source of professional information.

Medical service digitalization not only simplifies the work of professionals but also facilitates communication with patients. However, how medical providers can implement digital transformation with limited resources and invest in digital technologies to achieve the best benefits is yet unknown. In this study, a review of the literature related to the orthodontic process and interviews with relevant orthodontics digital transformation stakeholders were conducted. Content analysis was subsequently performed to construct an evaluation framework for the digital transformation of the orthodontic service. Next, this study conducted questionnaire design, DRA model construction, and DEMATEL analysis. This research constructed an evaluation framework of the digital transformation of four procedures, namely, clinical evaluation (CE), therapeutic communication (TC), treatment procedures (TPs), and patient tracking (PT). Taking Taiwan as a case, a total of 88 valid questionnaires were obtained from orthodontic digital transformation stakeholders. The results of the DRA‐NRM show that the healthcare digital transformation process in Taiwan starts at CE and that the project needs policy support or business transformation. Next, the TC project is considered to be the most important stage of the medical digitalization transformation and requires a full investment of resources. In the subsequent TP phase, marketing efforts need to be stepped up to convince stakeholders of the benefits of medical digitization. Finally, PT can be postponed during digitalization until sufficient support and resource inputs are available. This study makes strategic recommendations for orthodontic digital conversion and establishes a plan and future direction for the digital transformation of healthcare services.

The digital workflow process follows different steps for all dental specialties. However, the main ingredient for the diagnosis, treatment planning and follow-up workflow recipes is the imaging chain. The steps in the imaging chain usually include all or at least some of the following modalities: cone-beam computed tomographic data acquisition, segmentation of the cone-beam computed tomography image, intraoral scanning, facial three-dimensional soft tissue capture and superimposition of all the images for the creation of a virtual augmented model. As a relevant clinical problem, the accumulation of error at each step of the chain might negatively influence the final outcome. For an efficient digital workflow, it is important to be aware of the existing challenges within the imaging chain. Furthermore, artificial intelligence-based strategies need to be integrated in the future to make the workflow more simplified, accurate and efficient.
