ABSTRACT

Aim:

This study aimed to assess the interest of dental students, clinicians and professors in a mobile app for calculating dosages of medicines for use in Pediatric Dentistry.

Methods:

The cross-sectional survey involved a random sample of undergraduate and postgraduate pediatric dental students, clinical pediatric dentists and professors. Initially, participants watched a video about an early version of the app. They then answered a questionnaire about their clinical experience, calculation routine, and interest in the app. Descriptive analyses were carried out.

Results:

Of the 41 participants (20 students, 10 clinicians and 11 professors), 87.8% recognized the need to adjust doses of medicines used in pediatric dentistry, but only 56.1% felt confident in doing so. Almost a fifth of participants (19.5%) admitted errors in prescribing medicines for pediatric dental patients. After seeing the app's functionalities, 92.7% considered it relevant, and 87.8% were interested in the full version.

Conclusion:

The app is deemed relevant, necessary, and of significant interest to the target audience, indicating potential for investment and full development.
