Objective: To preliminarily explore the applicable scenarios of an intraoral camera to assist oral anatomical landmarks recognition, so as to improve the clinical diagnosis and treatment mode, cultivate the concept of caring for patients, strengthen doctor-patient communication, assist experts to teach, and improve the clinical diagnosis and efficacy rate.
Methods: A new type of an intraoral camera was applied in the recognition of oral anatomy landmarks and four application scenarios were developed, namely: (1) clinical diagnosis and treatment scenarios, in which doctors used intraoral camera to conduct a comprehensive examination of patients in the mouth and take videos and photos; (2) doctor-patient communication scenarios, when the doctor told the patient about the treatment plan, the video or photo taken by the intraoral camera was displayed to the patient; (3) expert teaching scenarios, when the expert used an intraoral camera to teach in the patient's mouth, and the young doctor learned oral anatomical signs on the projection screen, with the study of theoretical lessons; (4) difficult case recording scenarios, in the process of clinical diagnosis and treatment, when encountering difficult cases, you could use intraoral camera to record and take photos for young doctors to discuss, and experts to comment and guide.
Results: The application of intraoral camera could: (1) improve the clinical diagnosis and treatment mode and raise the clinical diagnosis and efficacy rate; (2) stimulate young doctors' interest in learning, use intraoral camera in assessments, and skillfully combine theoretical knowledge of anatomical landmarks with clinical practice, so as to improve the teaching effect; (3) cultivate, through self or mutual use, the concept of caring for patients and reinforce the importance of gentle operation; (4) strengthen doctor-patient communication. Doctors could communicate with patients more visually, so that the patients could better understand their own situation, and strengthen the patients' trust in the doctors.
Conclusion: Intraoral camera can assist oral clinical diagnosis and treatment, such as the recognition of oral anatomical landmarks. It plays a certain role in promoting the improvement of clinical diagnosis and treatment mode, stimulating learning interest, cultivating the concept of caring for patients, and enhancing doctor-patient communication.
目的: 初步探索口腔内窥镜辅助口腔解剖标志识别的应用场景, 以改进临床诊疗模式, 培养爱伤观念, 加强医患沟通, 辅助专家示教, 提高临床诊疗效率。
方法: 在口腔解剖标志识别中应用新型口腔内窥镜, 并开发4种应用场景, (1)临床诊疗场景, 医生使用口腔内窥镜对患者口内进行全面检查并拍摄录像及照片; (2)医患沟通场景, 医生向患者讲述治疗计划时, 将口腔内窥镜拍摄的录像或照片展示给患者; (3)专家示教场景, 在专家操作时, 专家在患者口内使用口腔内窥镜进行示教, 年轻医生在投影屏上学习口腔解剖标志, 配合理论知识的学习; (4)疑难病例记录场景, 临床诊疗的过程中, 遇到疑难病例时可以使用口腔内窥镜进行录像和拍照, 供年轻医生讨论, 专家进行点评和指导。
结果: 口腔内窥镜的应用, (1)改进临床诊疗模式, 提高临床诊疗效率; (2)激发年轻医生学习兴趣, 巧妙地将解剖标志的理论知识与临床实践相结合, 从而提升学习效果; (3)培养爱伤观念, 强化轻柔操作的重要性; (4)加强医患沟通, 医生可以更形象化地与患者交流, 使患者对自身情况更加了解, 增加患者对医生的信任。
结论: 口腔内窥镜可以辅助口腔临床诊疗, 如口内解剖标志识别等, 对于改进临床诊疗模式、激发学习兴趣、培养爱伤观念、提升医患沟通效果有一定的促进作用。
