“…The outcome of the research was both informative and alarming since it exposed an important oral health problem. Nearly 40% of children between the ages of 12 and 48 months had active dental caries, according to the teledentistry screening procedure, showing a significant incidence of tooth decay in this age range [26]. The difficulty these young children in underprivileged urban areas face when maintaining their oral health was brought home by this finding, which highlighted the critical need for early dental care and preventative measures.…”

A inclusão da teleodontologia no SUS, com planejamento, condições estruturais e qualificação dos profissionais, pode aumentar a equidade em saúde, reduzir tanto o tempo de espera quantos os custos com tratamentos e ampliação do acesso em áreas/grupos específicos, otimizando processos de cuidado ao usuário e fortalecendo a ABS e a Política Nacional de Saúde Bucal (Bönecker;Skelton-Macedo, 2014;Brasil, 2022a;Haddad;Tantawi et al, 2023).…”
