Modulo sperimentale di registrazione delle procedure diagnostiche e terapeutiche in ambito odontostomatologico

OBJECTIVES. The aim of this study is to present a repository (Italian Recording for the Appropriate Management of Odontoiatric Patient, IRAMOP) for the registration of dental services performed on patients referred to five Italian universities, in relation to orthodontics, surgical dentistry, dental implantology, periodontal and endodontic specialties. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Individual clinical programmed pathways are hereby described, indicating procedures, protocols and associated pharmacotherapy. All operators following the recent clinical recommendations for dentistry, published by the Ministry of Health, will be able to record on a shared platform the data related to the provided services and the clinical response obtained in each individual treatment. Drug therapies, clinical and surgical procedures and used protocols will be recorded into a common database. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS. All collected and processed data will provide important insights into the correct approach to dentistry, including both therapeutic procedures and drug therapies. Post treatment assessments will be recorded by operators not only in relation to the clinical evaluation, but also according to patient's reports in terms of perceived pain measured by the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS).
