Abstract
The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has forced the suspension of all healthcare operations other than emergency services. These circumstances made it necessary to put in place a digitally accessible healthcare delivery system that will help most children as well as healthcare professionals. This review seeks to offer a solid model of less technique-sensitive, safe, and practical solutions for orthodontic emergencies, endodontic and restorative issues, and oral traumatic injuries while waiting for complete clinical assistance. From 2011 to 2021, 533 publications were retrieved from the PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase, Lilacs, and Cochrane databases. There were 19 papers that discussed teledentistry during the COVID-19 era. Teledentistry can be a crucial patient management approach that can help in prioritizing urgent and elective patient treatment needs. This will ultimately lessen the pressure on clinics and offer a safer form of consultation.
