CBCT Perceptions of Radiology Leaders in the Midwest Dental Schools: A Qualitative Study
Get PDFProblem
The integration of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) in dental education is hindered by a lack of formal training among radiology leaders, insufficient institutional support, and financial constraints. Despite the proven efficacy of CBCT in enhancing diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning, its adoption in pre-doctoral curricula remains limited. This gap in education poses significant challenges for dental graduates, who are increasingly expected to utilize advanced imaging technologies in clinical practice.
Purpose of Study
This qualitative study aimed to explore the perceptions of radiology leaders in Midwest dental schools regarding the integration of CBCT education into pre-doctoral curricula. The objectives are to identify the barriers and facilitators to incorporating CBCT education, assess the perceived necessity of CBCT training for fourth-year dental students, and evaluate the impact of CBCT on diagnostic accuracy, clinical efficiency, and legal risk management.
Method
The study employed a qualitative research design, utilizing interpretive analysis to examine interview responses from ten radiology leaders at Midwest dental schools. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews conducted at the Annual Radiology Meeting in Hawaii. The interviews were validated using content validity and triangulation methods. Interpretive analysis was used to summarize the main features of the dataset.
Findings
The findings revealed that many radiology leaders lack formal training in CBCT technology, which became prevalent after the 1990s. Overburdened with clinical responsibilities and teaching commitments, these leaders face significant challenges in integrating CBCT education into the curriculum. Institutional support and recognition for CBCT education are also lacking, further hindering its adoption. Despite these challenges, the study highlights the necessity of CBCT education for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Effective teaching methods, such as hands-on training and case discussions, are identified as crucial for enhancing students’ learning experiences. The integration of CBCT technology into clinical practice has been transformative, significantly improving patient care, clinical efficiency, and diagnostic precision
