Abstract
Telemedicine is one of the innovative directions that has been actively developing for many years and is able, at least partially, to meet the needs of the medical and educational spheres. This is a relatively new direction in the health care system, based on the possibilities of rapid exchange of medical information between medical workers and patients, specialists of different medical institutions who may be at different distances to provide qualified medical care, as well as application in the field of medical education. The aim is to analyse the possible prospects for using telemedicine resources in various areas of dentistry. The introduction of telemedicine in the field of practical health care, including in such a specific field as dentistry, was facilitated by the lack of specialized medical care and specialists, the uneven geographical distribution of primary and specialized care, high national costs for health care, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic, emergencies and military operations. Telemedicine is designed to improve the quality of medical care by minimizing the time between the diagnosis of a disease, the selection of a personalized scheme and the start of its effective treatment, and also provides and expands access to specialized and high-quality medical services in regions where they are not available. Telemedicine is developing at the intersection of several fields - medicine, telecommunications, and information technologies. Today, telemedicine includes various forms, projects and procedures, among which the main ones are: telemedical consultation (remote discussion of a clinical case) - deferred and in-person remote consultation; biotelemetry (telemonitoring); home (individual) telemedicine; telescreening; telepresence; teleassistance; Distance Learning. No conflict of interests was declared by the authors.
