“…2,[5][6][7][11][12][13][14][15] In contrast, videoconferences or real-time consultations use direct, online computer telecommunication technologies among specialists, general dental practitioners, telehealth assistants, or patients located in remote communities, with the specialist remaining in a central region to provide support and supervision. 1,4,[8][9][10] The majority of studies in the dentistry literature were developed using store-and-forward methodologies, perhaps because these methods are cheaper and demand fewer resources than videoconferencing.

“…4,6,7 Other researchers have developed systems to provide telemedicine consultations for preoperative assessments or follow-up treatments. [8][9][10][11] Moreover, previous research has evaluated whether patients and clinicians accept telehealth methodologies. 5 For example, Rollert et al 8 evaluated a telemedicine consultation system for the preoperative assessment of patients prior to dentoalveolar surgical procedures in an attempt to reduce the costs of conventional appointments.…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the applicability of telediagnosis in oral medicine, through the transmission of clinical digital images by e-mail. Subjects and Methods: The sample included 60 consecutive patients who sought oral medicine services at the Federal University of Parana´, in the state of Parana´, located in southern Brazil. The clinical history and oral lesion images were recorded using clinical electronic charts and a digital camera, respectively, and sent by e-mail to two oral medicine consultants. The consultants provided a maximum of two clinical hypotheses for each case, which were compared with biopsy results that served as the gold standard. Results: In 31 of the 60 cases (51.7%), both consultants made the correct diagnosis; in 17 cases (28.3%), only one consultant made the correct diagnosis; and in 12 cases (20%), neither consultant made the correct diagnosis. Therefore, in 80% of cases, at least one consultant provided the correct diagnosis. The agreement between the first consultant and the gold standard was substantial (j = 0.669), and the agreement between the second consultant and the gold standard was fair (j = 0.574). Conclusions: The use of information technology can increase the accuracy of consultations in oral medicine. As expected, the participation of two remote experts increased the possibility of correct diagnosis.

“…The required technical expenditure for teleconsultation depends crucially on the infrastructure that is already available at the clinic and remote site [4,5]. Although teleconsultation and teleassistance procedures have been reported as a useful tool, the financial and personal effort involved were considerable [6].…”

Clinical evaluation of tele-endoscopy using UMTS cellphones

The need for teleconsultation is given, since orientation in arthroscopy is difficult. UMTS-streamed endoscopic videos still have certain limitations regarding teleconsulting due to instability and delay. Nevertheless, the technology may currently be beneficial for teleteaching and could be used in the future in teleconsultation. Without affecting ongoing surgeries and with no special need for a lecture theater, this technology provides tele-education using standard hospital infrastructure.
