| dc.description | Periodontal disease is highly prevalent in Malaysia, but the number of dentists to detect and manage the disease is limited. Healthcare professionals (HCPs) are dealing with patients with systemic problems, but their involvement in oral health promotion has yet to be identified. The use of teledentistry to detect periodontal disease is scarce. Hence this study is aimed to develop and test the concept of telescreening module for HCPs in primary care setting to detect periodontal disease, and evaluation on HCPs acceptance of module. Research is divided into three phases: (1) Intraoral photograph protocol. (2) Validation of intraoral photograph to detect signs of periodontal disease. (3) Development and evaluation of telescreening module for detection of signs of periodontal disease. Initially, protocol of taking intraoral photographs using smartphones was developed. Ten consented patients were subjected to photos using developed protocol, and a clinical examination carried out by an examiner. Photos were evaluated by 13 reviewers and decisions were made for: i)best view to detect periodontal disease, and ii)presence/absence of periodontal disease. Presence/absence of disease via photo review were compared to clinical finding. From the findings, protocol for telescreening was revised and edited accordingly. HCPs were then introduced on the telescreening module and instructed to use the module for a week. Photographs taken were evaluated and HCPs acceptance were recorded. Our study found that sensitivity and specificity of intraoral photograph was 96% and 87% respectively. Full agreement among HCPs was obtained that teledentistry module is useful and easy to understand, while 90% agreed on the practicality to use in their workplace. The newly developed telescreening module using photos taken on smartphone is a highly reliable method to detect periodontal disease. The HCPs well accepted it as a method to detect periodontal disease in their primary healthcare setting,Ijazah Sarjana Doktor Pergigian Klinikal (Periodontologi) | - |
