Hi Katie! Thank you for your reply. That topic sounds interesting, and it's the first time I've heard about that specialty group. I'll try to research more about it. Patient data breaches, phishing emails are the most common issues but is there anything else that you have encountered in the dental field and what would you recommend to mitigate or prevent those cybersecurity attacks?

Hello Margareth,

Awesome topic! There is really something to this. In your research, you have probably seen that specialists called "Odontologists" get involved in certain cases. These specialists can provide really amazing forensic support, and this comes from some very special properties of the teeth, associated data, and systems. For your study, I might look at interviewing a few Odontologists about their work and systems (something I have always wanted to do personally).
