While X-ray courses are integral to dentistry students\u2019 training, ultrasound diagnostics have not been integrated into undergraduate and postgraduate training. This study investigates whether there is a demand for undergraduate sonography training among dental students.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>An online questionnaire was developed by a team of experts (dentistry, maxillofacial surgery, otorhinolaryngology, radiology, and didactics) based on the \u201cChecklist for Reporting Results of Internet E-Surveys (Cherries)\u201d. Multiple items addressed several topics using dichotomous (\u201cyes\u201d\/ \u201cno\u201d), free text, and 7-level Likert answering formats (1\u2009=\u2009not at all; 7\u2009=\u2009fully and entirely). These included \u201cpersonal data\u201d, \u201cprevious experience\u201d, \u201cdemand for ultrasound diagnostics in an undergraduate degree program\u201d, \u201cdesired topics of ultrasound training\u201d, \u201cteaching methods\u201d, and \u201cstudy materials\u201d. Dentistry students completed the questionnaire in the winter semester of 2023\/24. The questionnaire\u2019s validity was assessed using factor analysis, reliability testing (Cronbach\u2019s Alpha, KR-20), and item discrimination.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>129 dental students participated (74% female). Many respondents (approx. 90%) were in higher semesters (6\u201310 semesters) and stated that they had not yet had any contact with ultrasound diagnostics (75%) and had not performed an ultrasound examination as yet (97%). The overall demand for ultrasound training was high (5.8\u2009\u00b1\u20091.3), particularly for the mandibular joint (6.3\u2009\u00b1\u20091.1), parotid gland (6.2\u2009\u00b1\u20091.0), submandibular gland, sublingual gland (6.1\u2009\u00b1\u20091.1), and floor of the mouth and tongue (5.9\u2009\u00b1\u20091.4) topics. Concerning the teaching methods and teaching materials, \u201cpractical training on a proband\u201d (82%), and the use of \u201cteaching scripts\u201d (85%), \u201cvideo instructions\u201d (74%), \u201cdigital pathological experts\u201d (66%), \u201ce-learning\u201d (62%), and \u201cblended learning\u201d (52%) were most desired.
