OBJECTIVES
The purpose of this study was to assess the number of Indiana dental practices that utilize digital radiography and to identify the reasons for using or not using digital radiography.
METHODS
A questionnaire was sent to a random sample of 300 licensed dentists in the State of Indiana. Demographic, clinical and digital technology responses were obtained. The data were analysed using SPSS 12.0 (Statistical Package Social Sciences) software; t-tests and Pearson's chi(2) test were performed on several variables with significance levels set at P< 0.05.
RESULTS
One hundred and fifty-two dental practices (51%) responded to the survey. Thirty dental practices (19.7%) used digital radiography in their office. Twenty-two (73%) of the dentists using digital radiography were general practitioners. The number of dentists in a practice was a significant factor in predicting the use of digital radiography (t=2.57, P=0.011).
CONCLUSIONS
The results of this study indicate that digital radiography is more commonly used by general dentists in group practices.
目的
本研究旨在评估印第安纳州使用数字放射成像技术的牙科诊所数量，并确定使用或不使用数字放射成像技术的原因。
方法
向印第安纳州300名持照牙医的随机样本发送了一份问卷。获取了人口统计学、临床和数字技术方面的回复。使用SPSS 12.0（社会科学统计软件包）软件对数据进行分析；对几个变量进行了t检验和Pearson卡方检验，显著性水平设定为P<0.05。
结果
152家牙科诊所（51%）回复了调查。30家牙科诊所（19.7%）在其办公室使用数字放射成像技术。使用数字放射成像技术的牙医中有22名（73%）是全科医生。诊所中的牙医数量是预测数字放射成像技术使用情况的一个重要因素（t=2.57，P=0.011）。
结论
本研究结果表明，团体诊所中的全科牙医更常用数字放射成像技术。
