“…It has been used for remote assessment of school children and prioritize those requiring dental care without unnecessary travel regardless of socio-economic and geographical difficulties in many places [23,24]. Brucoli et al suggested use of teleradiology as a useful tool in triaging of maxillofacial trauma patients from peripheral centers to their main trauma center [25].…”

Background and aims: Dentistry involves close face-to-face interaction with patients, hence during the COVID-19 pandemic, it has mostly been suspended. Teledentistry can offer an innovative solution to resume dental practice during this pandemic. In this review, we provide a brief overview of applications of teledentistry. Methods: Articles on teledentistry, relevant to this review, were searched and consulted from PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane database. Results: Teledentistry is the remote facilitating of dental treatment, guidance, and education via the use of information technology instead of direct face-to-face contact with patients. Teleconsultation, telediagnosis, teletriage, and telemonitoring are subunits of teledentistry that have important functions relevant to dental practice. There are many challenges for acceptance of teledentistry by the dentists as well as patients, which need to be addressed urgently. Conclusion: Teledentistry can offer a novel solution to resume dental practice during the current pandemic, hence, the need of the hour is to incorporate teledentistry into routine dental practice. If not fully replace, at least teledentistry can complement the existing compromised dental system during the current pandemic.

“…While teleteaching can improve the residents' learning curve, telemedicine could be a tool to take care of patients more safely. The fields of application of telemedicine are multiple: in the first management of maxillofacial traumas, in teleradiology, in follow-up visits and numerous others [8][9][10][11][12][13]. Another useful application might be the administration of a survey before the visit, in order to better focus the attention on the points considered critical by the patient during the visit [14,15].…”

Emerging challenges and possible strategies in maxillo-facial and oral surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic

The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic suddenly took the world by storm and Italy was one of the hardest hit countries. Maxillo-facial surgery and dentistry procedures had to be significantly reorganized, since they are considered high-risk procedures. Protocols had to be changed and interdepartmental cooperation was put in place to plan surgical interventions and maintain high standards. Various improvements have been made to prevent and reduce the risks of spreading the infection. Even if the situation seems to have improved, being unprepared is not an option. In this paper the experience gained during these months has been shared and possible future challenges has been highlighted, suggesting practical adjustments based also on new guidelines and recommendations.

“…Telemedicine was also used to conduct clinical examinations on pediatric patients, as described by the work of Farook et al [ 17 ]. Additionally, telemedicine played a crucial role in sharing radiological images, a useful feature when discussing a clinical case or performing a surgical procedure, for instance, a case of maxillofacial trauma [ 18 ], as shown in Figure 3 .…”

The rise of the COVID-19 pandemic has posed new challenges for health care institutions. Restrictions imposed by local governments worldwide have compromised the mobility of patients and decreased the number of physicians in hospitals. Additional requirements in terms of medical staff security further limited the physical contact of doctors with their patients, thereby questioning the traditional methods of clinical examination. Our institution has developed an organization model to translate the essential clinical services into virtual consultation rooms using a telemedicine interface which is commonly available to patients. We provide examples of clinical activity for a maxillofacial surgery department based on teleconsultation. Our experience is summarized and an organization model is drafted in which outpatient consultation offices are translated into virtual room environments. Clinical examples are provided, demonstrating how each subspecialty of oral and maxillofacial surgery can benefit from virtual examinations. The concept of “telesemeiology” is introduced and a checklist is presented to guide clinicians to perform teleconsultations. This paper is intended to provide an organization model based on telemedicine for maxillofacial surgeons and aims to represent an aid for colleagues who are facing the pandemic in areas where lockdown limits the possibility of a physical examination.
