The Development of Dental Informatics of Oral Cancer Screening for Prevention in Community Level: A Prototype Study in Thailand

Abstract

Dental informatics is a field to supporting dental care. Mostly of dentist unknown about the important of dental informatics is, what its meaning are, what it has accomplish and how dentist can get involved in the protocol for screening in community (Schleyer, 2001). Dental informatics can be consider as sub domain of medical informatics that links information technology, communication and healthcare to improve the quality and safety for patient care data. It has involved some part of biomedical informatics and follows by SNODENT standard (Goldberg et al., 2005;Schleyer, 2003). With the overflowing rapid development of computer application and information technology in the past decade, modern dental data research was becoming more dependent on informatics. However, it is important to differentiate

Prevalence and risk factors of oral potentially malignant disorders in Indonesia: a cross-sectional study undertaken in 5 provinces

“…Likewise ethnic differences within countries are at variable risk: for example, a significantly higher number of deaths from OC are recorded in men from the Indian subcontinent in the UK, and OC is more prevalent in areas with a high Asian population 5 , 64 . Similarly, we have shown that Papua and Dayak 65 ethnicities have 23.61 and 21.33-fold higher risk of presenting with an OPMD than those of Acehnese ethnicity, Javanese, Balinese, and East Nusa Tenggaranese groups are slightly more likely to have OPMD than Acehnese, whereas Sulawesi and Maluku ethnic groups show a 7-time increased risk compared with Javenese. However, it should be noted that ethnicity was self-reported: Sulawesinese, Malukunese, North Sumatran, West Sumatran, Balinese, and ENT ethnicities were not indigenous to the 5 selected screening regions.…”

Understanding Emergency Room Visits for Nontraumatic Oral Health Conditions in a Hospital Serving Rural Appalachia: Dental Informatics Study

“…Dental informatics can assist in patient care [ 22 ] with new methods grounded in machine learning that can be used in the detection of teeth, caries, restored teeth, dental crowns, dental implants, prostheses for dentofacial deformities [ 23 ], oral pathology [ 24 ], oral cancer screening [ 25 ], and endodontic treatment[ 26 ]. Dental informatics has phenomenal potential in evaluating public health initiatives, and it could be used for the assessment of health goals achievements [ 26 ] as well as in education [ 27 ]; however, it has functional limitations resulting from medical and dental patient care not being stored in the same system.…”
