Teledentistry: An American Dental Association Clinical Evaluators (ACE) Panel Survey

Overview
The emergence of COVID-19 changed the landscape of remote work forever, and dentistry was not excluded from these developments. However, many dentists still have not realized the benefits of teledentistry. This technology has emerged as complement to in-person dentistry where dentists can check in on patients virtually or have a hygienist take images to review later. These use cases have the ability to increase accessibility and quality of dental health care.

How many dentists are using teledentistry in their practices? How are they using this technology? What benefits have they realized from its adoption? Learn the answers to the these questions and more.
