Reproducibilidad y concordancia del software ADT Periodontal diseñado para la Universidad Santo Tomás

Abstract

Introduction: The significant advance of information and communication technologies in recent times, allows its application to the health sector in many ways, providing quality and safety benefits in the provision of the service, as well as significant savings from the point of economic view. Objective: To determine reproducibility and concordance of the ADT PERIODONTAL software for the registry of clinical findings and periodontal diagnoses, compared with the manual periodontogram, for its respective installation and application in the dental clinics of the Santo Tomás University. Materials and methods: An evaluation study of diagnostic technologies was carried out to evaluate the reproducibility and concordance of the ADT PERIODONTAL software, taking the sample of clinical records of maintenance patients of the Periodontics Specialization from January 2017 to December 2018. implemented a simple random sampling from the database, for a total of 127 medical records. Results: 101 patients were included, 51.49% were women with an average age of 47.99 ± 13.44 years. The reproducibility of the graphic representation of each of the teeth is almost perfect, since it oscillates between 0.81 and 1.00. The ADT PERIODONTAL software errors were directly related to the generation of dental graphic reports due to the absence of one or more graphing options, identified during the transcription of the data from the manual periodontogram to the digital version. Conclusions: Failures in the reproducibility of dental graphing were directly related to the absence of options for the selection of specific clinical findings and indirectly to faults in the processing attributes of the software.
