Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a digital education program designed for dental professionals can lead to radiographic examinations of better quality The main questions it aims to answer are
Does the digital education program lead to more radiographic examinations of good quality Does the digital education program lead to better theoretical and practical understanding regarding image quality among dental professionals
Researchers will compare answers from a theoretical test and image quality in radiographic examinations between participants with respectively without access to the digital education program
Participants will
have access to the digital education program for three months
after three months all study participants are invited to answer a theoretical test

Detailed Description:
The present study aims to evaluate a digital education programs effect on image quality in intraoral radiographic examinations performed by dental professionals The present study is part of an on-going cross sectional descriptive project where dental professionals employed in general dental care in the county of Västerbotten Sweden constitute the study population The purpose of the project is to gain a broader understanding of a digital education programs impact on the theoretical and practical competencies among dental professionals regarding intraoral dental radiographic examinations
Approximately 80 dental professionals have provided written informed consent regarding study participation In the present study approximately 40 participants will for three months be offered the intervention and join a digital education program Approximately 40 participants will during the same period not be offered the intervention and constitute the control group Effects on practical competencies between groups will be evaluated when analyzing image quality of intraoral radiographic examinations Effects on theoretical competencies between groups will be analyzed with a theoretical test
Cluster randomization of dental clinics will be made for study included participants to either intervention group or control group Recruitment of study participants will end in August 2024
The investigators hypothesize that the digital education program will improve the theoretical competence and radiographic image quality in intraoral radiographic examinations
