About this study

The purpose of the proposed research project is to evaluate and enhance the feasibility and acceptability of integrating a tele-mentoring component into the identification of oral lesions at the 6 dental clinics of Family Health Centers at NYU Langone (FHC), a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) in Brooklyn, NY.

Read the detailed description

The tele-mentoring intervention involves training dental faculty members and residents to use intraoral cameras to take photographs of oral lesions and place them in the Dentrix electronic health record (EHR), along with descriptions of the lesions. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study will evaluate and enhance the feasibility and acceptability of integrating a tele-mentoring component into the identification of oral lesions at the 6 FHC dental clinics.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Imaging using intraoral camerasOther

    Also called Aceton Soprocare Intraoral Camera

    The SOPROCARE is intended for clinical practice of general dentistry, as an aid in the diagnosis of pit and fissure caries, as an aid to highlight dental plaque and gingival inflammations and as intra-oral camera to visualize anatomical details that are invisible to the naked eye or with a mirror. In CARIO mode, the camera helps the dental practitioner to highlight carious warning on pits and fissures of the occlusal side of the teeth. In DAYLIGHT mode, the camera enables you to visualize anatomical details invisible to the naked eye or with a mirror. In PERIO mode, the camera helps the dental practitioner to see the presence of dental plaque but also to highlight gingival inflammations . This mode offers to the dentist and/or hygienist a tool for an improved communication, motivation and education of his/her patients, who will then become aware of their oral health condition.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Dental Patients Who Strongly Agreed or Agreed That the Use of an Intra-Oral Camera By Their Dentists Helped Them to Better Understand Oral Cancer Screening

    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.

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

  2. Percentage of Dental Patients Who Strongly Agreed or Agreed That Dentists Answered Their Questions About Oral Cancer and Were Able to Provide Them With Resources

    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.

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

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Percentage of Dental Providers Who Reported Successfully Providing the Tele-Mentoring Intervention

    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.

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

  2. Percentage of Dental Providers Who Reported That The Process Was Clear and Straightforward

    The process includes from EHR data entry to interaction with the oral surgeon over findings to patient referral

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

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Imaging using intraoral cameras in people with Oral Cancer, run by NYU Langone Health at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Dec 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of Dental Patients Who Strongly Agreed or Agreed That the Use of an Intra-Oral Camera By Their Dentists Helped Them to Better Understand Oral Cancer Screening (time frame: At the end of the dental appointment, 30-45 minutes). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Dec 2021.
