Dental healthcare continues to be limited for large populations of both developing and developed nations. Hectic metropolitan work schedule, improper dentist-population ratio, lack of awareness, or global health emergencies such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic could be the possible reasons. This results in proliferation of teledentistry based practice, aided by global smartphone networking. Smartphone teledentistry apps require proper scientific literature backup along with ready availability in popular app stores such as Google Play store, and Apple app store. This article aims to identify which smartphone apps designed to provide teledentistry features are rooted in evidence-based literature such that the percentage of scientifically supported apps that were commercially available to consumers can be determined. Smartphone apps for teledentistry were evaluated in three phases. Phase 1 identified all teledentistry apps reported in the scientific literature. Phase 2 identified which apps from the literature review were available in the app stores. Phase 3 identified the top teledentistry apps available in the app stores. 11 studies identified 5 apps with only 1 being available in both the app stores. Few apps qualified the scientific searching process, whereas the number of apps available on app stores are greater.

“…44 Using the method of telemedicine, oral surgeons are able to reliably inspect temporomandibular joint disorders and offer interspecialist consultation to dentists, prosthetics specialists and endodontists as a part of the interdisciplinary management of edentulous patients. 45,46 We think that further research should be directed PONS Medicinski časopis / PONS Medical Journal REVIEW ARTICLE / PREGLEDNI RAD towards telemedicine management of high-risk dental patients. These cases should be managed in an interdisciplinary manner and this is an area where distant consultations between oral surgeons and other specialists is of utmost importance.…”

At the end of the 20th century, the introduction of computer technology into oral surgery created great expectations. In almost two decades of the 21st century, computer technologies entered deeply into the pores of oral surgery and we witnessed their full expansion there. Computer technologies extend across different areas and offer support to oral surgeons in patient management. This paper represents a review of the most recent advances of computer-assisted dentistry in the domain of oral surgery. The paper is intended to inform the reader about the advantages and shortcomings of computerassisted oral surgery in both research and clinical practice.

Background Access to dental care is important for overall health, but can remain problematic for those in rural or isolated locations. It can be difficult to encourage clinicians to choose or continue a rural health career. Teledentistry is showing some promise as a strategy to support rural, isolated and new health care workers. This study aims to explore the quantitative and qualitative framework associated with teledentistry in an effort to uncover the interaction of multiple influences on its delivery and sustainability. Methods A systematic search of the literature was undertaken and studies were included if they evaluated consultative teledentistry, reports on implementation of teledentistry in practice or attitudes to teledentistry. Studies were evaluated qualitatively. Results Thirty-nine studies were included focusing on the accuracy, effectiveness or description a teledentistry project in practice. Five main themes were identified in the qualitative analysis: (1) using information and communication technology (ICT), (2) regulatory and system improvements, (3) accuracy of teledentistry, (4) effectiveness, including increasing access to clinical services, efficiencies and acceptability, and (5) building and increasing clinical capacity of the dental workforce. Conclusion Teledentistry provides a viable option for remote screening, diagnosis, consultation, treatment planning and mentoring in the field of dentistry. Rapidly developing information and communication technologies have increasingly shown improving cost effectiveness, accuracy and efficient remote assistance for clinicians. There is high acceptability for teledentistry amongst clinicians and patients alike. Remuneration of advising clinicians is critical to sustainability.
