Teledentistry use during the COVID-19 pandemic: perceptions and practices of Ontario dentists

Rocco Cheuk et al.

Summary: This study investigated the perceptions and practices of teledentistry among dentists in Ontario, Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results showed that although teledentistry was increasingly utilized during the pandemic, dentists' lack of interest emerged as a barrier to its use. Therefore, more education and knowledge dissemination about the applications and technical aspects of teledentistry are needed to increase dentists' interest and uptake of this tool.

Teledentistry awareness, its usefulness, and challenges among dental professionals in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia

Farooq Ahmad Chaudhary et al.

Summary: The study found that dental professionals in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have a positive perception and attitude towards teledentistry. They generally believe that teledentistry can enhance guidelines and advice, improve peer-to-peer interaction, and make patient referrals more efficient. They also believe that teledentistry is cost-effective for patients, improves communication, helps educate patients, avoids unnecessary travel, helps with monitoring, and benefits patients in remote areas. However, Pakistani and Saudi Arabian dental professionals have some differences in the challenges of teledentistry, including increased time spent with patients, communication and monitoring needs, etc. The challenges of teledentistry mainly include limited infrastructure, setup costs, and information technology literacy. To overcome these challenges, strategic government initiatives, policies, and programs are needed.
