Remote dentistry (RD), or teledentistry, is transforming oral healthcare by utilizing digital technology to enhance access, efficiency, and patient-centered care. This approach particularly benefits rural and underserved populations, individuals with limited mobility, and school-based dental programs, addressing significant geographical and demographic challenges. RD platforms utilize real-time video consultations, digital imaging, and integration with electronic health records to provide comprehensive remote dental services, ensuring continuity of care and maintaining high-quality standards. Its applications include telephone consultation, telediagnosis, treatment planning, and remote monitoring. Video conferencing aids in patient consultations, triage, and follow-up, while digital tools like intraoral cameras and radiographs support accurate remote diagnosis and collaborative treatment planning. Wearable technology and mobile apps enable continuous monitoring of oral health and treatment progress, enhancing patient education and encouraging positive behavioral changes. RD advances orthodontics, geriatric care, and public health initiatives, particularly for those with transportation or socioeconomic challenges. However, restorative treatments still require in-person visits. The benefits include increased accessibility, cost reduction, and improved patient comfort and safety, particularly during health crises. Challenges include ensuring equitable access to technology, addressing regulatory and legal issues, overcoming clinical limitations, and navigating reimbursement considerations. Future advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning will further enhance RD. Evolving dental education and training is crucial to prepare future dentists for a tech-driven practice, ensuring RD continues to improve access, efficiency, and patient-centered care in oral health delivery.
