Drivers

Technological Advancements

• Thanks to advancements in a variety of technologies like HD cameras, 3D imaging, and AR, the effectiveness of remote consultations and diagnostics in dentistry has improved. Dentists can offer accurate diagnoses and offer treatment suggestions remotely with the help of these technologies.

Increasing Demand for Convenient Healthcare

• Patients can acquire in-depth dental examinations and advice at their convenience without ever having to go to a special facility with the help of teledentistry. This convenience is especially welcome for patients who have strict and blocked routines or those who have little access to dental care because of geographical restrictions.

Restraints

Limited Physical Examination

• Though teledentistry offers in-depth examinations and consultations, some dental diseases need an in-person evaluation in order to provide an accurate treatment plan. One of the most prominent problems with teledentistry lies in the dentists’ inability to provide thorough physical examinations, including palpation and tactile assessment, as they are highly important for precise diagnosis.

Regulatory and Licensing Hurdles

• The varying regulations across borders and license-related problems create a problem when getting dental care with teledentistry. It is challenging to stick to the same method of diagnosing a patient as dental laws vary significantly from one jurisdiction to the other.

Data Security and Privacy Concerns

• One of the main problems in the field of teledentistry is the existing data security and privacy concerns. These problems occur when private patient information and medical records are delivered across digital networks. Although it is crucial, ensuring policy compliance that protects healthcare data, such as HIPAA in the US, can be difficult to execute in remote locations.
