Abstract

Internet sciences and technology have had a substantial impact on the health care system. Execution of Teledentistry in the field of medical sciences has already been in the public eye for a long, but comparatively little has been known about the influence of technology on dental sciences. Teledentistry is the concoction of telecommunication and dentistry, used for exchanging images and case reports, clinical information for dental consultations, dental education, and treatment planning. Teledentistry provides aid in rural areas where there are seldom dental specialists and lack comprehensive and good health care. It is a cost-effective, reliable source to acquire a proper treatment plan and instant remedy for dental discomfort. Dentistry involves close face-to-face interaction with patients, hence during the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been mostly suspended. Teledentistry can offer an innovative way to restart dental practice during this pandemic. This review article emphasizes the benefits and application of telecommunication in dentistry, its importance during the pandemic era, and also highlights legal and ethical issues concerning the practice of Teledentistry
