The accuracy of teledentistry in caries detection in children – A diagnostic study
How well remote dental exams detect cavities in children
AI simplified
Abstract
The mean of primary teeth was 3.38 from clinical examination compared to 3.42 from dental and 3.17 from non-dental teledentistry.
- Teledentistry may provide a reliable alternative for detecting dental caries in schoolchildren.
- Sensitivity for detecting caries in primary teeth was 95% for dental teledentistry and 98.3% for non-dental teledentistry.
- Specificity for primary teeth detection was 94.3% for dental teledentistry and 91.4% for non-dental teledentistry.
- Sensitivity for permanent teeth detection was lower, at 80.8% for dental teledentistry and 88.5% for non-dental teledentistry.
- Specificity for permanent teeth was 94.1% for dental teledentistry and 96.1% for non-dental teledentistry.
