title: The future of teledentistry.
abstract: Teledentistry is a rapidly forming subset of telehealth, a field that already has considerable impact on the health care industry. Recent advances have created new opportunities for teledentistry, and changes in diverse technologies have created new tools for the practitioner. Technologies currently available are beginning to change the dynamics of dental care delivery. As teledentistry evolves, it will offer new opportunities to improve the level of patient care and reshape current business models.
