This suggests that Teleorthodontics is a promising solution and is likely here to stay [ 18 – 21 ].…”

Background The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted dental services, resulting in reduced staff availability, limited appointments, and some dental clinics even being forced to close their doors. Despite these challenges, the need for dental consultants remained present, particularly in emergency situations. One area of orthodontics that had seen a surge in demand during the pandemic is Teleorthodontics. With the help of Teleorthodontics, orthodontic consultations, assessments, and even treatment monitoring could be conducted remotely, making it a safe and convenient option for patients during those challenging times. Aim This survey aimed to evaluate the acceptance of patients and their orthodontists on the use of different modes of communication through Teleorthodontics during the COVID-19 pandemic and their willingness to continue using this in the future. Methods An online survey instrument in Qualtrics was distributed to orthodontic patients at the University of Illinois, Chicago. The survey was available on a rolling basis for up to 6 months. A total number of 364 partients voluntarily participated in the survey. The Faculty and Residents were also asked to participate in a survey through recruitment via their UIC email addresses. Results According to our survey, both patients and providers showed acceptance of Teleorthodontics and have used it in different forms during orthodontic treatment. The application is easy-to-use, convenient, and not at all time-consuming. Overall satisfaction with using this application was recorded at 92%, with 66% of patients stating that it saved them time by eliminating the need to travel to the orthodontic clinic. 30% of providers found that the interaction with patients using Teleorthodontics was a positive experience and would recommend it in future. Conclusion Teleorthodontics has shown great potential, particularly in follow-up cases, and holds promise as a valuable tool for online remote dental consultations in the future.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, infected individuals have spread far and fatally affected a significant number of people. Indonesia is fearful and nervous about getting COVID-19. Even when COVID-19 patients have passed away, the virus can still spread to others who come into contact with a dead body. The qualitative, statutory, and normative research approach used to write this thesis is library research (library research) based on secondary sources. A qualitative investigation was carried out on the numerous documentary studies that have been done, which were done by looking through and perusing a variety of literature. Qualitative data is descriptive in nature, meaning it is gathered using words rather than statistics. The study's findings indicate that managing Muslim bodies infected with Covid-19 differs from handling corpses in general and calls for specific handling in accordance with MUI fatwa no. 18 of 2020 for managing the bodies of Muslims infected with Covid-19, in order to prevent infection of the general public and law enforcement personnel performing their duties.
