Abstract

The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for the exchange of data and information in Dentistry, providing health services in situations where it is necessary to overcome geographical, temporal, social and cultural barriers is called Teleodontology. The objective of this integrative review was to analyze the overall situational panorama of Teleodontology. Scientific articles published in the last 10 years have been selected, in full, in portuguese and in english. The search for the journals was carried out in the Scientific Eletronic Library Online databases, LILACS and PubMed, by means of combining the following descriptors: "Telemedicine", "Dentistry", "Education, Distance", in portuguese and english. A total of 340 articles were found, of which 14 were included for final evaluation, with PubMed the most prevalent database (71.4%). Most studies (85.7%) were included in level 4 evidence. Were identified studies reporting the use of this technology to minimize geographical barriers and to provide adequate assistance to the most vulnerable populations and others on reports from professionals, dentists and patients regarding the use of Teleodontology. It was concluded that Teleodontology is a global reality, but still needs to disseminate its experiences to the scientific community, for its consolidation as an educational and health care tool.
