Evaluation of Teledentistry Cases in Active Duty U.S. Military Personnel on the Global Teleconsultation Portal from 2015 to 2020
Abstract
Dental emergencies (DE) occur in approximately 12% of deployed military103 personnel per year including issues such as third molar problems and oral pathologies. Prolonged field care during difficult combat situations is expected, and alternative measures to provide care should be taken, such as telemedicine when service members are separated from clinicians. Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of teledentistry in the United States (U.S.) Navy by examining medical records of patients who were assisted by the Global Teleconsultation Portal (GTP).
