The diffusion of innovation in dentistry: A review using rotary nickel-titanium technology as an example

Article

Apr 2006

Technological innovations are crucial for the advancement of the art and science of clinical dentistry. While some innovations suffer a lack of support, resulting in general nonacceptance, others are gradually adopted and supersede previous techniques and/or materials. Very little has been published in the dental literature concerning the reasons for the adoption, nonadoption, or rejection of new technology in dentistry. This paper reviews the diffusion of innovation in dentistry, with an emphasis on the adoption of rotary nickel-titanium endodontic instruments. Factors affecting adoption of new technology include a complex interplay of perceived benefits and advantages, and psychosocial and behavioral factors, in decision making. The importance of both dental school teaching and continuing education in dentistry is highlighted, emphasizing that such courses must be of a very high caliber.

Doctors may profit professionally or financially from administering an experimental therapy, but their first responsibility has traditionally been to the patient, not to the treatment. It is understood that the doctor must look out for (some would say 'protect') the patient, especially in the period before the efficacy of a treatment is proved. The possibility of personal gain must not color his ... [Show full abstract] or her recommendation about an experimental treatment. The establishment of a for-profit company that offers experimental treatments to those who can afford to underwrite the costs of development is a departure from this tradition. This approach, if widely adopted, will be of interest and possibly of concern, to the general public as well as the biomedical community. I will describe the early plans of the first company of this type to be established and then consider some of the issues raised by the development of this type of enterprise.
