Abstract
ABSTRACT The global lockdowns have resulted in the popularisation of tele-consultation. Also the anxiety about dental visits and hospital-acquired infections in patients and incidences of dishonesty are increased. Tele-consultation includes patient data collected on phone calls, text messages, and video calls. Bluffing or providing false information is one of the dark realities of clinical practice. Dishonesty might affect the treatment success and spread of contamination. During normal and epidemic eras, skills for honesty and bluff identification are required during tele-consultation to protect patients and doctors from hospital-acquired infection in further one-to-one treatment meetings.
