The effective use of an e-dentistry service during the COVID-19 crisis
Abstract
In 2020, we experienced the largest disruption to normal life recorded in recent years with the COVID-19 global pandemic. Creative thinking was required to ensure patient care was maintained. In this article, we share a service evaluation and experiences dealing with the crisis through using a virtual office approach with video conferencing to manage emergency consultations, treatment reviews, new patient and multidisciplinary clinics in a hospital orthodontic unit.
Keywords: COVID-19; coronavirus; e-dentistry; pandemic; teledentistry; video consultations; videoconferencing.
