Comparing a nurse's 3D dental check-up with a dentist's exam in nursing homes
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares a dental check-up by a nurse using a 3D camera to a standard exam by a dentist, for elderly people in nursing homes. If the results agree, it may make dental care easier for residents who cannot easily travel to a specialist.
