Today’s Era of Digitalization - Current Trends and Practise

Abstract

Combining telecommunications and dentistry, teledentistry entails the transmission of clinical data and photographs over vast distances for dental consultation and treatment planning. Teledentistry has the potential to increase accessibility, enhance oral healthcare delivery, and cut costs. Additionally, it might end the discrepancies in oral healthcare between rural and urban areas. In addition to reviewing the current information that is available in the literature, this article also discusses the history, justification, scope, foundation, and needs for teledentistry. This article also discusses the future of this alternative and cutting-edge approach to providing dental care, as well as the ethical and legal concerns associated with the practise of teledentistry.
