Teleradiology is an innovative practice of interpreting radiology images from a distant site and has boomed into a global trend in radiology. It was earlier known as off-site reading where X-ray images were diagnosed by radiologists who were physically based at a distant site. The technique involves standard equipment to capture, view and share images across radiology platforms so that physicians can handle it with ease. However, there are various regulations that are laid down by different countries and radiology associations. The significance of teleradiology in maxillofacial dentistry and oral care is undoubtedly massive and it needs further streamlining to increase global adaption. The present paper discusses the trends in teleradiology and the future scope especially for the maxillofacial radiologists.
