“…It is imperative that teledentistry apps be developed with the health care provider with quality content tailored to the requirements so that the best information is readily available. 20,21 Due to the digitization of health care, a wide variety of apps requires diverse skills including a broader understanding and capabilities of e-health to properly utilize the information known as e-health literacy. 22 The bright prospect, theoretical foundation, and evolution of the Internet from Web 1.0 (read only) to Web 2.0 (read and write) and moving toward Web 3.0, also known as the semantic web, in combination with blockchain, will enable machine-readable material and human-machine cooperation.…”

Objectives: M-health technology facilitates and equips us with the required medical-related information and knowledge. This research work aims to provide an overview of m-health apps related to dentistry on the Google Play Store. Materials and Methods: This widely used official smartphone platform was screened for the most widely available apps by putting the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and keywords “teledentistry, dentistry, and dental” and the resultant apps were evaluated for the number of downloads, ratings, release date, and number of reviews. Results: The apps were categorized depending upon their applicability into different subgroups, which include patient education apps, dentist appointment apps, kid's apps, undergraduate apps, graduates and general dentist apps, postgraduate dentist apps, commercial and social networking apps, and other miscellaneous apps. The engagement of the users was evaluated in all the categories and the applicability of apps in respective categories was evaluated. The study concluded that despite plentiful apps in each category, the engagement of individuals with the m-health apps related to dentistry is relatively low. However, few creative apps in each category showed bright prospects for productivity and engagement. Conclusion: Centralization and appropriately supervised apps with quality information by some official health care platforms can enhance the effectiveness and prepare this platform for the future of dentistry in the world of semantic web and blockchain.
