Abstract
Background: Rapid advancements in dental diagnostic technologies have transformed early detection and management of dental caries. However, successful implementation of innovative screening tools requires understanding the needs and perception of future dental professionals.
Aim: To develop and validate a Needs Assessment Scale for Innovative Technology Approaches to Dental Screening among dental students
Objectives: To develop a structured questionnaire assessing perceived need for innovative dental screening technologies.
To validate the scale among undergraduate dental students. To compare responses based on gender. To compare responses based on year of study
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 200 undergraduate dental students (I BDS to Interns). A structured 15-item questionnaire was developed to assess perceived need, awareness, and acceptance of innovative dental screening technologies. Data were analyzed using SPSS software. Descriptive statistics were calculated, and Chi-square tests were applied to compare responses based on gender and year of study.
