Summary
Brazilian dentists show limited knowledge and experience with teledentistry, indicating inadequate preparation for its implementation. Further training is needed to enhance understanding and adoption of remote dental care solutions.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Health Informatics
- Telemedicine
Background:
- The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of teledentistry globally.
- Assessing dentists' readiness is crucial for successful teledentistry integration.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate Brazilian dentists' knowledge, perception, and experience with teledentistry during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Main Methods:
- An online questionnaire surveyed 575 Brazilian dentists on their profiles and teledentistry awareness.
- Data analysis included descriptive statistics and Chi-squared tests to compare groups.
Main Results:
- Most dentists had superficial knowledge of teledentistry regulations.
- Specialists and experienced dentists showed higher awareness and confidence.
- Over 60% lacked knowledge of teledentistry prescriptions, and most had no prior experience.
Conclusions:
- Brazilian dentists are largely unprepared for teledentistry implementation.
- Gaps in knowledge and experience highlight the need for educational initiatives.

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...

The barriers to effective communication also include cultural barriers, semantic barriers, gender barriers, and time constraints.
Cultural barriers:
Differences in values, beliefs, religion, knowledge, and tradition can significantly impact communication. Awareness of nonverbal cues is critical, especially when conversing with a patient from a different culture. What appears appropriate in one culture may be inappropriate in another.
Semantic barriers:
