Evaluation of the Agreement Between a Consultation With a Nurse Acquiring Three-dimensional Intraoral Images Made With a 3D Intraoral Camera and the Standard Consultation With a Dental Surgeon, in Institutionalized Elderly Subjects

Plain-language summary
The primary objective of this study will be to assess the agreement between a dental consultation with a nurse acquiring intraoral images, using a 3D intraoral camera, and a standard consultation with a dental surgeon, in institutionalized elderly subjects Institutionalized subjects planned to have a dental consultation and eligible will be included once written informed consent is signed. Their dental consultation will start with a consultation with a nurse to record 3D intraoral images, then a consultation with a dental surgeon for standard dental care, blinded from the nurse consultation will be performed. Thereafter, 3D images will be analyzed by another dental surgeon blinded from the results of both consultations. Agreement on different outcomes between the analysis of the images acquired by the nurse and the standard dental evaluation by a dental surgeon will be assessed.
Agreement on the results between the interpretation of the 3D images acquired by a nurse and the standard consultation by a dental surgeon could lead, in the long term, to a significant step forward in dental care of institutionalized patients.
Indeed, training nursing home nurses to acquire 3D dental images would enable the identification of patients in need of immediate dental care and thus extend the possibilities of access to consultations with a dentist for these patients. This would increase the efficiency of care.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
