Accuracy of remote diagnoses using intraoral scans captured in approximate true color: a pilot and validation study in teledentistry

The remote examination using IOS was effective in detecting dental findings, whereas periodontal conditions could not be assessed with the same accuracy. Still, remote assessment of IOS would allow a time-efficient screening and triage of patients. Improvement of the image quality of IOS may further allow to increase the accuracy of remote assessments in dentistry. According to the Swiss Regulation this investigation is not a clinical trial and therefore no registration in a WHO-registry is needed.
