Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Telemedicine has emerged as a promising approach to improve access to healthcare services, including dental care. This thesis presents a comparative study that assesses the efficacy of telemedicine in providing dental care, comparing it to traditional in-person care delivery methods. The research aims to evaluate the effectiveness, feasibility, and patient satisfaction levels of telemedicine in the context of dental services. The study will involve a comprehensive literature review to establish the current state of telemedicine in dentistry, followed by a methodical examination of telemedicine platforms and their impact on dental care provision. Data collection will involve surveys, interviews, and analysis of patient outcomes to determine the benefits and limitations of telemedicine in dental care. The findings from this study will contribute valuable insights into the potential of telemedicine to revolutionize the delivery of dental services, particularly in enhancing accessibility, reducing barriers to care, and improving overall patient experience. Ultimately, this research seeks to inform policymakers, healthcare providers, and stakeholders on the implications of integrating telemedicine into dental practice, with the goal of optimizing patient care and advancing the field of teledentistry.
