The Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry
|March 10, 2021
Summary
Orthodontists can adopt remote practices using HIPAA-compliant teledentistry systems. This technology facilitates patient communication and treatment management, especially crucial during public health crises like the COVID-19 pandemic.
Area of Science:
- Dental Technology
- Telehealth
- Orthodontics
Background:
- The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated rapid adoption of technology in healthcare to minimize person-to-person contact.
- Smartphones and digital platforms have become essential for information exchange in various sectors, including healthcare.
- Orthodontic practices faced challenges in maintaining patient care while adhering to safety protocols.
Purpose of the Study:
- To inform orthodontists about implementing remote practice solutions.
- To introduce various telecommunication and teledentistry systems suitable for orthodontic treatment.
- To provide a comprehensive overview of available technology options for remote orthodontic care.
Main Methods:
- Review of various HIPAA-compliant telecommunication platforms.
- Discussion of teledentistry systems applicable to orthodontic treatment.
- Presentation of software options in a detailed figure for reference.
Main Results:
- Several telecommunication and teledentistry systems are available for orthodontic use.
- These technologies enable remote patient communication and information transmission.
- The article provides a snapshot of currently available remote practice tools.
Conclusions:
- Technology, particularly teledentistry, offers viable solutions for orthodontic practices seeking remote capabilities.
- Implementing these systems can help maintain treatment continuity and patient engagement.

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...

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...
