Teledentistry: Revolutionizing Modern Dental Care and Collaboration in Oral Healthcare

Abstract

Technology has transformed the landscape of modern healthcare. In dentistry, teledentistry has helped overcome the challenges and barriers patients face in accessing oral healthcare by leveraging information and communication technologies. This study explores the transformative role of teledentistry in enhancing accessibility, improving patient education, and improving clinicians’ workflow. Teledentistry facilitates remote consultations, diagnosis, and treatment planning. The study highlights its applications in various dental specialties, including orthodontics, oral surgery, and pediatric dentistry, emphasizing its importance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite its limitations, teledentistry complements traditional dental practices and is set to become a cornerstone of modern dentistry.
