GIESSEN, Germany: To expand access to paediatric care beyond the traditional clinical setting, the application of asynchronous teledentistry is gaining interest. A recent study from Germany compared findings from intra-oral scans (IOSs) with standard visual dental examinations in children to determine whether paediatricians could use IOSs to provide diagnoses and treatment recommendations reliably compared with dentists. They found that paediatricians can effectively assess oral health and provide reliable treatment recommendations, highlighting both the reliability of trained paediatricians in dental assessment and the potential for closer interdisciplinary collaboration in paediatric healthcare.
