Abstract

Telemedicine is a rapidly evolving field in the present scenario. Teledentistry is considered as a subset of telemedicine that utilizes telecommunication network and for transfer of relevant clinical data and images for dental diagnosis and treatment planning. Tele-oral-radiology is considered as a subspeciality of Teleradiology and is still in an emerging phase in many nations including India. Adoption of Teleradiology practices enable the Teleradiologist to enjoy the freedom of working from any location and alleviates the problem of overnight specialty coverage. Even though teleradiology has numerous advantages it is bound for certain limitations as well. Literature reports have found tele-oral-radiology to be beneficial in aiding general dental practitioners in the diagnosis and interpretation of oral and maxillofacial radiographs. The aim of this paper is to provide a brief about Tele-Oral-Radiology practice.
