Description
Dentists now scan the mouths of older patients from afar, but team care has not kept pace with the tools. Panagiota Chatzidou and her team show that gap in a 2026 survey. Eighty-four dental staff from many lands filled in a 40-item form on remote care with mouth scans for old-age work.
Early-career staff led use, at 76.3% of their group. Use fell to 28.6% among mid-career staff. Once staff had a year with the tools, 93.8% of them kept using the scans. Most staff, 91.7% of the group, said team care across fields has real worth, yet joint work stayed rare. Cost, tech snags, and gaps in training were the chief blocks. The team urge set training plans and funds to back the shift.
