Teledentistry—Dental students’ preparedness and patients’ experiences
Most dental students were confident in addressing patient concerns but recognized the need for additional training for managing complex cases. Both students and patients reported positive experiences with TD, including effective communication and satisfaction. These findings highlight the importance of integrating TD training into dental curricula, addressing technical and privacy concerns, and improving patient education for secure and effective TD use in routine care.
