“…The frontal view included the maxillary anterior region, capturing the canines, lateral and central incisors, and areas of free and attached gingiva. The occlusal view registered the same teeth from an occlusal perspective, reaching up to the anterior region of the palate, according to the protocol suggested by Park et al . The third photograph was taken with the teeth in occlusion (Figure ).…”

“…The functions of smartphone cameras (autofocus, anti-movement, and white-balance) permit fine detail and color visualization in dental images. [19] Transmitting these images appended with patients’ symptoms to a dentist could improve patient-provider communication in real-time and enable dentists to make more timely treatment decisions.…”

“…To date, dental mobile applications have included various functions such as data collection, [21] symptom checking, [22] and photographing and transmitting high-quality dental images. [19,23] Additionally, Namakian [24] has shown that dentists can assess patients remotely, as well as in person if accurate information is available. Therefore, with proper information captured remotely, clinical decision-making such as treatment plans and resource allocations could be supported.…”

Evidence suggests that dental emergencies are likely to occur when preferred care is less accessible. Communicative barriers often exist that cause patients to receive sub-optimal treatment or remain in discomfort for extended lengths of time. Furthermore, limitations in the conventional approach for managing dental emergencies prevent dentists from receiving critical information prior to patient visits. We developed a mobile application to mediate the uncertainty of dental emergencies. Patient-provided information accompanied by high-resolution images may significantly help dentists predict urgency or prepare necessary treatment resources. The development and study consisted of a needs analysis and quality assessment of intraoral images captured by smartphones; prototype development; refining the prototype through usability inspection methods; and formative evaluation through usability testing with prospective users. The developed application successfully guided all users through a series of questions designed to capture clinically meaningful data using familiar smartphone functions. All participants were able to complete a report within 4 minutes and all clinical information was comprehendible by the users. Our results illustrate the feasibility of patients utilizing smartphone applications to report dental emergencies. This technology allows dentists to remotely assess care when direct patient contact is less practical. This study demonstrates that patients can use mobile applications to transmit clinical data to their dentists and suggests the possibility of expanding its use to enhance access to routine and emergency dental care. Here, we address how we can enable patients to directly communicate emergent needs to a dentist while relieving them of enduring emergency room visits.

“…Therefore, teleradiology systems have been widely used in the medical field and even studies of remote interpretation via a mobile hand held device have been reported 2-4. However, little research has addressed the application of teleradiology to dentistry, and most such studies are limited to investigation of specific diseases such as maxillofacial pathoses requiring surgery or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder 5-8.…”

PurposeThis study was performed to investigate the clinical usefulness of teleradiology in general dental practice.Materials and MethodsTwo hundred and seventy five cases were submitted for inquiry to the case presentation board of the website of The Korean Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology for a 5 year periods. The diagnosis results of those cases were analyzed according to the disease classification, the correlation with the patient's chief complaint, the necessity of additional examinations or treatments, the image modalities, and the number of dentists inquiring.ResultsDifferential diagnoses of normal anatomic structures were the most frequently submitted cases, covering 15.6% of all cases. Among 275 cases, 164 cases required no additional treatments or examinations. Panoramic radiographs were the most frequently submitted images, accounting for 248 inquiries. The 275 cases were submitted by 96 dentists. Fifty-two dentists wrote one inquiry, and 44 inquired 2 or more times. The average inquiry number of the latter group was 5.0 cases.ConclusionA teleradiology system in general dental practice could be helpful in the differential diagnosis of common lesions and reduce unnecessary costs.
