背景:在口腔医学中应用远程医学来帮助牙科医生和专家管理复杂的口腔疾病。本范围审查旨在综合有关技术要求和提供安全服务的现有证据,以及在口腔医学中使用远程医学的标准口腔摄影方法的建议。
方法:本范围审查于2022年根据JoannaBriggsInstitute(JBI)手册进行。系统检索了四个数据库,包括ISIWebofScience,PubMed,Scopus,和ProQuest,从1999年1月到2021年12月。在最终确定搜索策略之后,所有的原创文章,reviews,社论,信件,注释,和书籍章节被包括在内。还包括所有以英语上传的论文以及全文电子文件,以全面了解现有文献。应用了两种类型的分析:使用Excel2016的定量描述性分析和使用MAXQDA版本10的定性主题分析。
结果:所包含的论文在1999-2021年期间发表。大部分收录的文章来自巴西(n=9,21.43%),印度(n=6,14.28%),美国(n=6,14.28%),和英国(n=5,11.90%)。在2019年至2021年之间,社交媒体作为远程医疗平台的使用大幅增加。Teledentistry平台已分为四类,包括电子邮件,电话,社交网络应用(WhatsApp,缩放,Google会议,Instagram,线路应用,Viber,和Messenger),和远程医疗系统(远程医疗系统,这是专门为执行远程医疗项目而设计的)。已经进行了遥感存储和转发(n=15,30.71%),实时(n=9,21.43%),或两者(n=12,35.71%)。根据专题成果,基本技术要求分为四个,包括远程医疗平台,互动的类型,互联网连接,摄影工具。其他专题结果显示了七类建议,包括一般因素,光,患者位置,电话位置,手机摄像头的设置,照片发送要求,和照片可视化。
结论:根据结果,在过去的7年里,特别是在COVID-19大流行期间,WhatsApp和Zoom等社交网络应用程序的使用频率更高。此外,用手机拍照的建议取决于几个因素,如一般因素,光,患者位置,电话位置,手机摄像头的设置,和照片发送要求。鉴于越来越多地使用移动相机进行口腔摄影,这些建议有助于提高图像质量,进而提高患者病情管理中临床决策的可靠性.
BACKGROUND: Teledentistry is applied in oral medicine to help dental practitioners and specialists manage complex oral conditions. This scoping review aims to synthesize the available evidence regarding the technical requirements and the provision of security services, as well as the recommendations on standard oral cavity photography methods for using teledentistry in oral medicine.
METHODS: The present scoping review was conducted in 2022 according to the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) manual. Four databases were systematically searched, including ISI Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and ProQuest, from January 1999 to December 2021. After finalizing the search strategy, all the original articles, reviews, editorials, letters, comments, and book chapters were included. All the dissertations uploaded in English with a full-text electronic file were also included to achieve a comprehensive picture of the available literature. Two types of analysis were applied: the quantitative descriptive analysis applying Excel 2016 and the qualitative thematic analysis using MAXQDA version 10.
RESULTS: The included papers were published during 1999-2021. Most of the included articles were from Brazil (n = 9, 21.43%), India (n = 6, 14.28%), the USA (n = 6, 14.28%), and the UK (n = 5, 11.90%). Social media usage as a teledentistry platform increased considerably between 2019 and 2021. Teledentistry platforms have been classified into four categories, including email, telephone, social network applications (WhatsApp, zoom, Google Meeting, Instagram, line Application, Viber, and Messenger), and teledentistry systems (teledentistry systems, which were designed specially to perform a teledentistry project). Teledentistry has been conducted to store and forward (n = 15, 30.71%), real-time (n = 9, 21.43%), or both (n = 12, 35.71%). According to the thematic results, basic technical requirements have been categorized into four, including teledentistry platform, type of interactions, internet connection, and photography tool. Other thematic results demonstrate seven categories of recommendations, including general factors, light, patient position, phone position, setting of a mobile phone camera, photo sending requirements, and photo visualization.
CONCLUSIONS: According to the results, over the past 7 years, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, social network applications such as WhatsApp and Zoom have been used more frequently. Also, photography recommendations with a mobile phone camera depend on several factors such as general factors, light, patient position, phone position, setting of the mobile phone camera, and photo-sending requirements. Given the increased use of mobile cameras for oral photography, these recommendations can help improve the quality of images and subsequently improve the reliability of clinical decision-making in managing patients\' conditions.
