  • Dentists’ perceptions and usability testing of the Implant Disease Risk Assessment IDRA, a tool for preventing peri-implant disease: a qualitative study
    Publication . Bornes, Rita; Montero, Javier; Ferreira, Ana; Rosa, Nuno; Correia, André
    Introduction: we aimed to explore dentists’ perceptions toward the implementation of a dental informatics risk assessment tool which estimates the risk for a patient to develop peri-implantitis. Materials and Methods: the Implant Disease Risk Assessment Tool (IDRA) was presented to a convenience sample of seven dentists working in a university clinic, whom were asked to use IDRA with the information of three clinical cases whilst thinking aloud and then fill the System Usability Scale (SUS). A semi-structured interview technique was used with audio record to allow free expression of participants’ perceptions related to the IDRA. The interviews information was categorized and analyzed by the authors. Results: to our knowledge, this is the first study conducted to develop a qualitative usability test of IDRA, evaluating the effectiveness, efficiency, and users’ satisfaction. There were more variations in responses the greater the degree of complexity of the clinical case. Generally, the participants classified the tool as good, getting usability values of 77,2 (SD 19,8) and learnability 73,2 (SD 24,5). Conclusion: four additional factors should be considered to improve IDRA tool: 1) considering the relation between contour angle and peri‐implant tissue height; 2) automatic periodontal classification in the IDRA tool after completing the periodontogram in the clinical software; 3) presentation of a flow chart to assist therapeutic decisions alongside the final score defined by the IDRA tool; 4) integrating of precision tests such as Implantsafe® DR (dentognostics gmbh, Jena) and Oralyzer®(dentognostics gmbh, Jena). Clinical Significance: etiology and pathogenesis of peri-implant diseases is multifactorial. These tools must follow a natural integration to be easily applied in a clinical setting. It is important to study their usability from the clinicians’ point of view, evaluating the effectiveness, efficiency, and users’ satisfaction.

  • The importance of oral health during pregnancy and among the newborn
    Publication . Ferreira, Ana; Oliveira, Catarina; Silva, Liliana; Santiago, Mariana; Veiga, Nélio
    Objective: Assessment of the knowledge that future mothers have about the importance of their oral health and future oral health of their newborn. Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was designed in which the participants were pregnant women and mothers of newborns living in the city of Viseu, Portugal. The self-administered questionnaires were distributed to a final sample of 68 participants. The objective of this questionnaire was to assess the oral hygiene and the level of oral health of pregnant women and the importance attributed to them, taking into account the implications of oral health in the newborn. Results: It was observed that the participants had satisfactory oral health habits and had some knowledge about the oral health of the newborn, however, in certain fundamental parameters they had a significant lack of knowledge. Most pregnant and mothers of newborns rated their oral health as good (30.9%) and very good (38.2%). However, 14.7% consider that their oral health was bad, which is a concerning issue considering that the sample were young pregnant and mothers of a newborn. Conclusions: We find that there is a need to educate the population about oral healthcare during pregnancy, postpartum care, and also oral health of the newborns. In this way, we are contributing to a better future for the oral health of the community. However, further studies should be performed in order to better understand the oral health behaviours of mothers to better define preventive strategies in the field of oral health.
