Abstract

PURPOSE

To assess the perceived need for more esthetic options, the practicality of using newer technologies, and the barriers faced in implementing new technologies among pediatric dentists in the Southwest region of the US.

METHODS

A 23-question de-identified survey was sent to members of the Southwest Society of Pediatric Dentists in their quarterly newsletter (generated through a QR code) RedCap. The survey included questions regarding the pediatric dentist's knowledge of available computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) dental technology and areas of current application.

RESULTS

The survey revealed a moderate to significant need among dental practitioners for more esthetic and durable restorative options in pediatric dentistry, particularly for permanent teeth and special needs patients. There was a notable lack of current CAD/CAM technology usage, which is attributed to barriers such as cost and knowledge gaps. A high demand for esthetic solutions from parents was noted, although less importance was placed on custom restorations for primary teeth. The findings also indicated that demographic factors, such as age and years of experience, significantly influence the perceived necessity for new restorative options and the adoption of new technologies, with a trend toward greater interest in esthetics among female practitioners and those with longer practice experience.

CONCLUSION

The results indicate an increasing demand for alternative esthetic and durable restorative options in pediatric dentistry, particularly for permanent teeth and special needs populations. However, the limited familiarity and knowledge concerning CAD/CAM technology among pediatric dentists suggest that further education and research are necessary to bridge this gap.

摘要

目的

评估美国西南部地区儿科牙医对更多美学选择的感知需求、使用新技术的实用性以及实施新技术所面临的障碍。

方法

通过《西南儿科牙医协会季刊》（通过二维码生成）RedCap向该协会成员发送了一份包含23个问题的匿名调查问卷。该调查包括有关儿科牙医对可用的计算机辅助设计和计算机辅助制造（CAD/CAM）牙科技术的了解以及当前应用领域的问题。

结果

调查显示，牙科从业者对儿科牙科中更多美观且耐用的修复选择有中度到显著的需求，特别是对于恒牙和特殊需求患者。目前CAD/CAM技术的使用明显不足，这归因于成本和知识差距等障碍。尽管对乳牙定制修复的重视程度较低，但家长对美学解决方案的需求很高。研究结果还表明，年龄和经验年限等人口统计学因素显著影响对新修复选择的感知必要性和新技术的采用，女性从业者和从业经验较长者对美学的兴趣有增加的趋势。
