From one year to another, dentists have access to more procedures using modern techniques. Many of them can improve the effectiveness of dental procedures and frequently facilitate and accelerate them.
Technically advanced devices are an important part of modern dentistry. Over the years, there were developed technologies like ultrasounds, lasers, air abrasion, ozonotherapy, caries diagnostic methods, chemomechanical caries removal (CMCR), pulp vitality tests, computer-controlled local anesthetic delivery (CCLAD). The aim of this study was to investigate the requirement of Polish dentists for such technologies.
An anonymous questionnaire was posted on a social media group of dentists from Poland. 187 responses were obtained.
It turned out that almost every respondent uses ultrasounds, but other technologies are not as popular. 43% use CCLAD, 33% use diagnostic methods, 28% use air abrasion, 25% use dental lasers, 21% use CMCR, 18% use pulp vitality tests and 6% use ozonotherapy. The most common reason for not using the aforementioned technologies were their high cost and the sufficient effectiveness of raditional methods. There was a correlation between use of a dental laser and CCLAD and size of office, CMCR use and dentists' work time and air abrasion use and gender. Many dentists claim that they will try one of the modern technologies in the future.
It can be concluded that Polish dentists tend to use ultrasounds and CCLAD more than any other technology. In the future this may change, so more studies in this topic are needed.
年复一年，牙医能够使用现代技术开展更多的诊疗程序。其中许多技术可以提高牙科诊疗程序的有效性，并常常使其更加便利和高效。
技术先进的设备是现代牙科的重要组成部分。多年来，已经开发出了诸如超声、激光、空气研磨、臭氧疗法、龋齿诊断方法、化学机械去龋（CMCR）、牙髓活力测试、计算机控制局部麻醉给药（CCLAD）等技术。本研究的目的是调查波兰牙医对这些技术的需求情况。
在波兰牙医的一个社交媒体群组上发布了一份匿名调查问卷。共获得187份回复。
结果显示，几乎每位受访者都使用超声，但其他技术并不那么受欢迎。43%的人使用CCLAD，33%的人使用诊断方法，28%的人使用空气研磨，25%的人使用牙科激光，21%的人使用CMCR，18%的人使用牙髓活力测试，6%的人使用臭氧疗法。不使用上述技术的最常见原因是其成本高昂以及传统方法的效果足够好。牙科激光和CCLAD的使用与诊所规模、CMCR的使用与牙医的工作时间以及空气研磨的使用与性别之间存在相关性。许多牙医声称他们未来会尝试一种现代技术。
可以得出结论，波兰牙医使用超声和CCLAD的频率高于其他任何技术。未来这种情况可能会改变，因此需要对此主题进行更多研究。
