Following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, hospitals and dental clinics temporarily limited their patient services and instead relied upon telemedicine to provide consultations and follow-up visits remotely. Various medical and dental specialties, including oral and maxillofacial surgery and oral medicine, have since adapted by providing care remotely and continue to do so. [1][2][3] However, the use of telemedicine in orofacial pain for examination, evaluation, and diagnostic utility has not been well described. The goal of this retrospective review is to detail the format of a telemedicine examination for a new patient with an orofacial pain condition so that other providers may be able to employ similar techniques.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
