A proof-of-concept evaluation of a cloud-based store-and-forward telemedicine app for screening for oral diseases

Abstract

This study provided evidence that a robust system for store-and-forward screening for dental problems can be developed, and leads to the need for further testing of its robustness to confirm the accuracy and reliability of the teledentistry system.

The efficacy of remote screening for dental caries by mid‐level dental providers using a mobile teledentistry model

“…The utilization of telemedicine technology for telediagnosis of dental caries has had growing acceptance in recent years. More recently, mobile teledentistry, which is considered to be a subset of telemedicine, has also shown potential to serve as a valid and reliable tool in the screening for caries. However, the body of literature on mobile health applications in dentistry is limited to small clinical trials or pilot studies.…”

Integration of telemedicine into the public health response to COVID‐19 must include dentists

“…Indeed, the COVID-19 epidemic may represent an enduring transformation in medicine with the advancement of telemedicine (Rose 2020). The inherent visual nature of dentistry makes it ideal for the practice of telemedicine (Estai et al 2016). Dental pathoses and oral lesions are often directly observable, and hence, photography may be a valuable diagnostic tool that should not be underestimated in times of epidemics or pandemics.…”

Rekam Medis Elektronik Menggunakan Sistem Penyimpanan Foto Intraoral Gigi untuk Aplikasi Teledentistry berbasis Internet of Things

“…Dalam [6] disebutkan juga bahwa di negara maju pun para ahli kesehatan berpraktik hanya di kota-kota atau area tertentu, sehingga masyarakat di daerah-daerah terpencil kesulitan untuk mendapatkan layanan kesehatan gigi. Keterlambatan dalam mendapatkan layanan kesehatan gigi menjadi kontributor bagi buruknya kesehatan gigi.…”

“…Dengan demikian disimpulkan dalam [6] bahwa untuk meningkatkan kesehatan gigi di daerah-daerah pedesaan atau terpencil dibutuhkan peralatan screening yang handal dan mudah ditempatkan. Aplikasi telemedicine yang sederhana memberikan harapan untuk solusi yang dibutuhkan tersebut.…”

“…Aplikasi telemedicine yang sederhana memberikan harapan untuk solusi yang dibutuhkan tersebut. Percobaan yang dilakukan dalam [6] menunjukkan bahwa teledental screening memiliki potensi untuk digunakan sebagai alat screening yang handal untuk mengidentifikasi seseorang yang memiliki risiko penyakit gigi dan memungkinkan paramedis untuk memberikan penanganan.…”
