Importance of Training in Digital Dentistry for Improving Oral Health in Remote and Rural Areas
Abstract
This chapter reviews education and training in digital dentistry, adhering to PRISMA 2020 guidelines. It highlights the critical role of training in utilizing digital tools, especially in remote areas. Despite the benefits of technologies like AI, virtual reality (VR), and advanced devices in enhancing dental care, challenges such as high costs, limited training resources, and resistance to change remain significant. Effective training is vital for bridging the urban-rural care gap and ensuring equitable access to quality services. The review emphasizes the need for structured learning and technology adoption, informed by frameworks like Social Learning Theory and the Technology Acceptance Model. Addressing the digital divide requires integrating hard skills (oral health education) with soft skills (emotional intelligence) and leveraging innovations such as VR simulations and e-learning. Continuous education and collaboration are essential for advancing practice and improving patient care in underserved areas.
