Summary
Teledentistry offers a solution to resume dental care during the COVID-19 pandemic. This technology facilitates remote dental treatment, guidance, and education, complementing traditional practices.
Area of Science:
- Dental Public Health
- Health Informatics
Background:
- COVID-19 pandemic necessitated suspension of in-person dental care due to close patient-provider proximity.
- Teledentistry emerged as an innovative solution to maintain dental services during the pandemic.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide an overview of teledentistry applications.
- To highlight the potential of teledentistry in resuming dental practice.
Main Methods:
- Literature search conducted on PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane databases.
- Relevant articles on teledentistry were consulted for the review.
Main Results:
- Teledentistry enables remote dental treatment, guidance, and education using information technology.
- Key components include teleconsultation, telediagnosis, teletriage, and telemonitoring.
- Challenges exist regarding dentist and patient acceptance of teledentistry.
Conclusions:
- Teledentistry presents a novel approach to continue dental practice during pandemics.
- Incorporating teledentistry into routine practice is crucial.
- Teledentistry can complement, if not replace, compromised dental systems.

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

Here are the steps to accurately measure oral temperature using an electronic thermometer:
Step 1:
Start by practicing proper hand hygiene to prevent the spread of microorganisms.
Step 2:
Take the thermometer out of the charging unit, switch it on, and wait for the ready sign.
Step 3:
Gently slide the probe cover until a click is heard. This simple action prevents cross-contamination and ensures the correct placement of the probe cover.
