Project Abstract

Abstract
Tele-dentistry has emerged as a promising solution to improve access to oral health care services, especially in underserved areas. This research study aims to investigate the impact of tele-dentistry on access to oral health care services, focusing on its benefits, challenges, and implications for both patients and oral health care providers. The study will explore the current state of tele-dentistry implementation, its effectiveness in reaching remote populations, and its potential to enhance oral health outcomes. The research will begin with a comprehensive literature review to examine existing studies, theories, and frameworks related to tele-dentistry and access to oral health care services. By analyzing the key findings and methodologies of previous research, this study aims to build upon existing knowledge and provide valuable insights into the field. The research methodology will include a mixed-methods approach, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. Surveys, interviews, and case studies will be conducted to gather information from patients, oral health care providers, and tele-dentistry experts. The data collected will be analyzed using statistical tools and thematic analysis to identify patterns, trends, and correlations. Findings from the research will be discussed in detail, highlighting the impact of tele-dentistry on access to oral health care services. The discussion will address the benefits of tele-dentistry, such as increased reach, cost-effectiveness, and convenience, as well as the challenges and limitations, including technology barriers, regulatory issues, and privacy concerns. In conclusion, this research will provide a comprehensive understanding of the impact of tele-dentistry on access to oral health care services and offer recommendations for improving the implementation and effectiveness of tele-dentistry programs. By addressing the gaps in existing literature and drawing on empirical evidence, this study aims to contribute to the advancement of tele-dentistry as a viable solution for enhancing oral health care accessibility and outcomes.
