  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Enhanced Telemedicine and e-Health

Part of the book series: Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing ((STUDFUZZ,volume 410))

Abstract

As a result of the current Sars-Cov-2 pandemic, the use of teledentistry (TD) has become much more widespread, as it allows for medical consultation while still maintaining social distancing measures. The objective of this chapter is to update the most relevant information on the use of TD, its advantages and disadvantages as well as the most important ethical and legal aspects. It has been observed that, in general, TD can be a useful instrument in practically all dental fields (both in diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of patients) and represents a time saving for the professional and the patient. Although traditional visits are necessary in many procedures, this technology opens new horizons in daily practice.
