Teledentistry Study Compares Dentists and Pediatricians in Children's Oral Health Evaluation

Posted: September 2, 2025
A study compared teledental findings in children using intraoral scans (IOS) and visual examinations (VIS) by dentists and pediatricians. Results showed almost perfect agreement in assessing general dental status, caries, molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH), restorations, urgency of intervention, and treatment recommendations. Both dentists and pediatricians demonstrated similar accuracy in evaluating the urgency of dental intervention. The study highlights the potential of IOS-based teledentistry for pediatric dental assessments, enabling pediatricians to effectively assess oral health and provide reliable treatment recommendations, ultimately improving access to dental care and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration in pediatric health care.
