Teledentistry: Applications Across Dental Specialties: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Researchers compared teledentistry's diagnostic accuracy to in-person examination across dental specialties. In restorative dentistry, teledentistry showed moderate sensitivity (77.2%) and high specificity (89.1%), though it was not a complete substitute for clinical visits; evidence in other specialties was variable.
