This study aimed to identify the risk factors of using DSM to provide an insight into the inherent implications this has on dental professionals in practice and trainee professionals' education.
Twenty-one participants (10 dental professionals and 11 undergraduate and postgraduate dental students) participated in this qualitative study using semi-structured interviews in a dental school in the UK. The interviews were analysed and categorised into themes, some of which were identified from previous literature (e.g., privacy and psychological risks) and others emerged from the data (e.g., deceptive and misleading information).
The thematic analysis of interview transcripts identified nine perceived risk themes. Three themes were associated with the use of DSM in the general context, and six themes were related to the use of DSM in professional and education context.
This study provided evidence to understand the risk factors of using DSM in dental education and the profession, but the magnitude of these risks on the uptake and usefulness of DSM needs to be assessed.
本研究旨在确定使用数字印模系统（DSM）的风险因素，以深入了解其在实际应用中对牙科专业人员以及实习专业人员教育的内在影响。
21名参与者（10名牙科专业人员以及11名牙科本科和研究生学生）参与了这项定性研究，研究在英国一所牙科学院采用半结构化访谈进行。对访谈进行了分析并归类为不同主题，其中一些主题是从先前的文献中确定的（例如，隐私和心理风险），其他主题则是从数据中浮现出来的（例如，欺骗性和误导性信息）。
对访谈记录的主题分析确定了九个感知到的风险主题。三个主题与在一般背景下使用DSM相关，六个主题与在专业和教育背景下使用DSM相关。
本研究为理解在牙科教育和专业中使用DSM的风险因素提供了证据，但这些风险对DSM的采用和实用性的影响程度需要进行评估。
