Introdução: No domínio da medicina dentária, o advento das tecnologias digitais abriu portas a uma nova era de inovação e eficiência. Os registos eletrónicos de saúde, as metodologias de inteligência artificial e a telemedicina dentária têm um grande potencial para otimizar o acesso, melhorar o atendimento ao paciente e agilizar os fluxos de trabalho clínicos. No entanto, juntamente com estes benefícios vem uma série de considerações éticas que devem ser previamente e cuidadosamente abordadas. Ao explorar estas dimensões éticas, podemos compreender melhor as complexidades inerentes à interseção da medicina dentária com a tecnologia digital, esforçando-nos, em última análise, por uma abordagem ética e centrada no paciente aos cuidados dentários na era digital.
Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi efetuar uma revisão bibliográfica para avaliar os dilemas éticos do recurso destas novas tecnologias na área da medicina dentária.
Metodologia: Foi efetuada uma pesquisa bibliográfica na base de dados PubMed, SciELO e Web of Science usando combinações dos termos de pesquisa “digital dentistry”, “ethical issues”, “artificial intelligence”, “electronic record” e “oral health”. Os critérios de inclusão foram publicações escritas em inglês, publicadas entre 2013 e 2023, e com texto completo disponível. Os artigos resultantes da pesquisa foram avaliados através da leitura do título e resumo, tendo sido selecionados os artigos relevantes, seguida da avaliação e seleção através da leitura completa dos mesmos.
Resultados: Da pesquisa bibliográfica foram selecionados 11 estudos que avaliaram as questões éticas relacionadas com a implementação de novas tecnologias digitais na área da medicina dentária.
Conclusão: Destaca-se que as tecnologias dentárias digitais, como registos eletrónicos, saúde móvel, telemedicina dentária e avanços em inteligência artificial, levantam questões éticas fundamentais, como privacidade, confidencialidade, segurança de dados e consentimento informado. Embora muitas dessas preocupações sejam reconhecidas e abordadas, é crucial realizar estudos adicionais para compreender e mitigar efetivamente as questões éticas emergentes associadas ao avanço contínuo das tecnologias. É imperativo estabelecer medidas que garantam a proteção adequada dos direitos éticos dos pacientes no contexto dessas inovações em constante evolução.
Introduction: In the field of dentistry, the advent of digital technologies has opened the door to a new era of innovation and efficiency. Electronic health records, artificial intelligence methodologies, and dental telemedicine have great potential to optimize access, improve patient care, and streamline clinical workflows. However, along with these benefits come a series of ethical considerations that must be carefully addressed beforehand. By exploring these ethical dimensions, we can better understand the complexities inherent at the intersection of dentistry with digital technology, ultimately striving for an ethical, patient-centered approach to dental care in the digital age. Objective: The objective of this study was to carry out a literature review to evaluate the ethical dilemmas of using these new technologies in the area of dentistry. Methodology: A literature search was performed in PubMed, SciELO, and Web of Science databases using combinations of the search terms “digital dentistry,” “ethical issues,” “artificial intelligence,” “electronic record,” and “oral health.” The inclusion criteria were publications written in English, published between 2013 and 2023, and with full text available. The articles resulting from the research were evaluated by reading the title and abstract, with relevant articles being selected, followed by evaluation and selection through their complete reading. Results: From the literature search, 11 studies were selected that evaluated ethical issues related to the implementation of new digital technologies in the area of dentistry. Conclusion: It is noteworthy that digital dental technologies, such as electronic records, mobile health, dental telemedicine, and advances in artificial intelligence, raise fundamental ethical questions, such as privacy, confidentiality, data security, and informed consent. While many of these concerns are recognized and addressed, it is crucial to conduct additional studies to effectively understand and mitigate emerging ethical issues associated with the continued advancement of technologies. It is imperative to establish measures that ensure adequate protection of patients' ethical rights in the context of these constantly evolving innovations.
