About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a digital education program designed for dental professionals can lead to radiographic examinations of better quality. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does the digital education program lead to more radiographic examinations of good quality? Does the digital education program lead to better theoretical and practical understanding regarding image quality among dental professionals?
Researchers will compare answers from a theoretical test and image quality in radiographic examinations between participants with respectively without access to the digital education program.
Participants will:
* have access to the digital education program for three months * after three months all study participants are invited to answer a theoretical test
