Abstract
This pilot study explores how Endodontists make decisions regarding the adoption of rapidly evolving technologies in clinical practice, an area with little existing literature. Graduates of an Advanced Endodontics Program were surveyed to assess the importance of 23 decision-making factors using a 5-point Likert scale. The survey was distributed via Qualtrics and remained open for 3 months, with reminders sent to participants. A total of 46 responses were received, yielding a 37% response rate. The most highly ranked factors influencing technology adoption were evidence (100%), safety/risk (97.8%), health benefits (91.3%), quality (89.1%) and post-implementation patient care quality improvement. In contrast, company representative input (15.8%), initial disruption (33.3%) and training duration (45.5%) were rated as least important. These findings provide valuable insight into the priorities of Endodontists, emphasising a strong commitment to patient-centered care and clinical rigour in technology adoption decisions.
期刊介绍：
The Australian Endodontic Journal provides a forum for communication in the different fields that encompass endodontics for all specialists and dentists with an interest in the morphology, physiology, and pathology of the human tooth, in particular the dental pulp, root and peri-radicular tissues.
The Journal features regular clinical updates, research reports and case reports from authors worldwide, and also publishes meeting abstracts, society news and historical endodontic glimpses.
The Australian Endodontic Journal is a publication for dentists in general and specialist practice devoted solely to endodontics. It aims to promote communication in the different fields that encompass endodontics for those dentists who have a special interest in endodontics.
