Main Article Content
Keywords
Quality of Dental Care-ray Technology, Nursing Assistance, Systematic Review
Abstract
Background: The integration of technology and nursing assistance services is revolutionizing dental care delivery, enhancing diagnostic precision and expanding access to care. However, challenges like resource constraints and regulatory compliance need to be addressed to fully realize the benefits of this integration. The aim of current study is to evaluate the enhancing quality of dental care through the integration of X-ray technology and nursing assistance services.
Method: A thorough search of databases, including Scopus, PsycINFO, and Web of Science, was conducted in order to categorize relevant research that was published between 2018 and 2022. The inclusion criteria for this research were English-language papers that focus to evaluate the enhancing quality of dental care through the integration of X-ray technology and nursing assistance services. Following an initial screening and quality evaluation, thirteen studies were included in the synthesis.
Results: The study database was searched through electronic databases, identifying 3368 records. 19 unique records were assessed for eligibility based on titles and abstracts. After initial screening, 19 studies were selected for full-text assessment. After independent review, 13 studies met criteria and were included in the systematic review. The selected studies were conducted between 2018-2022 and varied in design. The PRISMA flowchart illustrates the selection process. Quality evaluation involves peer-reviewed journals, overall assessment, and quality management.
Conclusion: The research highlights the importance of technology in dental care, including Teledentistry and digital radiography, and nursing assistance services in supporting dental practitioners. However, challenges like resource constraints, training needs, and regulatory compliance need to be addressed. Recommendations include investing in training, fostering interprofessional collaboration, ensuring accessibility, promoting patient-centered care, investing in technological infrastructure, and promoting sustainability. Collaborative efforts between stakeholders can drive meaningful change and advance dental care delivery standards.
