Trial Outcomes & Findings for Oral Pathology Asynchronous Telementoring Pilot Study (NCT NCT04166214)

Last Updated: 2021-12-03

Results Overview

Consented patients will be asked to complete a brief Patient Exit Survey (5 statements) at the end of their dental appointments after being screened for oral cancer lesions using an intraoral camera. Responses to the second statement are reported for this outcome measure. The statement is scored on a Likert Scale from 1 - Strongly Disagree to 5 - Strongly Agree.

Consented patients will be asked to complete a brief Patient Exit Survey (5 statements) at the end of their dental appointments after being screened for oral cancer lesions using an intraoral camera. Responses to the fourth statement are reported for this outcome measure. The statement is scored on a Likert Scale from 1 - Strongly Disagree to 5 - Strongly Agree.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At the end of the dental appointment, 30-45 minutes

Dentists are given a Provider "Essential Components" Checklist to fill out. This checklist summarizes the essential components of incorporating a tele-mentoring intervention into the identification of oral lesions via use of intraoral cameras to take photographs of oral lesions at chairside, uploading them into Dentrix, and conferring with an oral pathology expert. Successful provision of the intervention is indicated by marking "item met" for all 10 intervention elements listed in the checklist.
